PG&E Issues Power Shutoff Warning As Fire Danger Escalates (patch.com) — Napa County residents are being urged to prepare for potential PG&E power shutoffs as strong offshore winds, low humidity, and drying vegetation sharply increase wildfire risk later this week. Portions of Napa could see outages Wednesday and Thursday, with especially dangerous conditions on nearby peaks and along HWY-128, where a vegetation fire has already forced a closure. Locals are encouraged to monitor outage alerts, assemble emergency supplies, and review evacuation plans before conditions worsen.
