Yesterday afternoon, Dan Lee published the article ‘Forecasts pointing to record demand and other risks in QLD for Friday afternoon.. but caveats aplenty’, which has garnered a number of compliments online already.
One in particular drew my attention – where Ron Logan (here on LinkedIn) commented:
‘Great chart, hope you keep updating it as we move closer to Dispatch and when it done, what the actual demand was.’
Given I was having a look anyway this morning, thought it would be useful to share this snapshot from ez2view at the 09:45 dispatch interval with a window containing 3 different ‘Forecast Convergence’ widgets, each focused on different aspects of current forecasts for Friday evening:

I am not sure why the demand is forecast to be so high. Yes it will be hot and humid, but nothing that is even close to a record. It just looks to be on the higher side of average for SE QLD at this time of the year, not very pleasant.
