PSE&G is prepared for the strong winds and heavy snow that may hit the service area Friday night through Saturday and possibly cause severe damage.
Depending on how the storm tracks, forecasts call for 4 to 8 inches and snow accumulations could reach 10 inches in parts of New Jersey. The forecast also predicts prolonged, strong winds with the possibility of peak gusts of up to 45 mph – conditions that could break tree limbs, pull-down wires and cause outages.
“We continue to monitor the weather, our employees are performing system checks and we have personnel on hand prepping for potential outages,” said Jack Bridges, vice president, Electric Operations for PSE&G. “While forecasts vary, some models predict severe damage and we encourage customers to stay informed and be prepared.”
PSE&G prepares year-round for extreme weather to maintain reliable service for our customers.
