ORIGINAL POST: Xcel Energy is closely monitoring wildfire risk conditions in Larimer and Weld counties, including parts of Fort Collins and nearby communities to the north and west. Due to high winds, low humidity, and extremely dry ground conditions, there is a heightened risk for wildfires.
Due to dry conditions and low relative humidity, fire weather conditions will be elevated to critical. Stronger winds are expected for Friday across the northeast plains where gusts to 65 mph will be possible.
To reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety, Xcel Energy may implement a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) for a limited number of customers in Larimer and Weld counties starting at 7 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 16.
Power outages may last several hours to several days as crews inspect and repair damage before re-energizing lines.
