PG&E To Turn Off Power To Unincorporated Areas Near Winters, Davis

YOLO COUNTY (CBS13) — Due to the extreme weather forecast, PG&E announced Friday evening that it will begin proactively turning off the power early Saturday morning to portions of several Nothern California communities.

The power is scheduled to be turned off from early Saturday morning through at least Saturday afternoon, affecting approximately 1,600 customers in the areas of extreme fire risk.

Forecasts from PG&E's Wildfire Safety Operations Center showed strong and intensifying winds in the Sacramento Valley and North Bay beginning Friday night into Saturday, with sustained winds between 15 and 30 mph, and local gusts of at least 40 mph.

Those high winds paired with relatively low humidity create a great fire danger.
