To reduce the risk of wildfire and support public safety, we are planning for a likely Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) beginning on Saturday, March 14, around 2 p.m., potentially impacting about 43,000 customers in Boulder and Jefferson counties. The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for this weather event and has indicated this will be the warmest and driest day of this stretch of high fire danger. Wildfire risk and outages are expected to continue through the weekend. Prepare for potential outages now, especially if you use medical equipment that requires electricity.

This is far from a done deal as Saturday's forecast is quite dynamic with a lot of moving parts. There will be very dry air during the afternoon and it'll be windy, but windy enough to potentially take down trees and power lines? Seems like a low end chance. #cowx
