The National Weather Service predicts another round of rain and wind for the San Francisco Bay Area beginning Sunday, Feb. 4, and persisting into Monday, Feb. 5. Heavy rain amounts in excess of 3” are possible, accompanied by strong wind gusts of 65 mph or greater.

Gusty winds could cause tree limbs to blow down and trees to fall. Saturated soils make it easier for trees to fall, and falling trees could lead to power outages. Use extra caution while driving, especially in high-profile vehicles.

For general questions about PG&E service, call their customer service center at 1-800-743-5000. Visit https://pgealerts.alerts.pge.com/outagecenter/ to report, track, and monitor PG&E electric outages.
