PG&E power shutoffs likely in parts of Yolo, Stanislaus counties over weekend
YOLO COUNTY – People in some rural parts of Yolo and Stanislaus counties could have their power turned off this weekend due to increased fire risk.
Cooler, more fall-like weather is expected to move into Northern California by Saturday.
While the National Weather Service is predicting mountain showers with this pattern shift, gusty winds are also in the forecast.
Couple with the dry conditions, PG&E warns that Public Safety Power Shutoffs are likely. According to the utility, the shutoffs could start Sunday at 6 a.m. and last until 2 p.m. Monday.
The utility says it will notify affected customers by phone, text and email before turning the power off.
