Ahead of a pair of strong winter storms expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds and mountain snow to Northern and Central California during the holiday week, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) crews are readying to respond to expected power outages.

The storms are forecast to move through the PG&E’s service area with the first system arriving on Tuesday followed by the second system later in the day on Wednesday.

Snow levels are expected to be above 6,000 feet.
