Keep in mind that the chart shows generating capacity and use, and ignores transmission limitations. IOW, there may be plenty of power up North, but no way to get it down South.

Kind of interesting if you go to the system status graphic they are now forecasting the daily system peak for Monday to be 43,700 MW. This is down from the news release on Friday of 46,252 MW's.
I am sure that the 2,552 MW reduction in forecast power demand is due to the Cal ISO request for Californians to use less electricity as discussed in their Friday press release/Power Watch!

I actually felt a coastal breeze in Burbank around 1pm
