That’s great. (Highly simplified) numerical weather prediction and reanalysis condensed down to the small scale of a ballpark. I am guessing they are using much of the fluid dynamics modeling from the NWS Global Forecast System (GFS) since it’s open-source available to anyone that wants the code. Your tax $$ at work, ladies and gents!

Just flew a gaggle of dojer fans from Burbank to ‘lovely’ Pahoenix.

I gave every one of them a friendly, “Go Astros” as they were de-planing.

Thank you for flying Southwest Airlines and paying my salary, you silly blue-backers.

No. We are seeing MLB games.

ETA: I am with my friend Jerry who was my PONY League baseball coach when I was 13 and 14 years old. Pretty cool for me.
