Softer than something else unfortunately.

The odds of having no hits through 8 innings is probably 1/450 by itself. Those other variables included, it's probably a 1/2000 type occurrence or something.

I did some of the math for fun.  Not including all the extraneous variables and keeping it simple (assuming independence, etc.), the odds of the Astros getting a no hitter through 7 innings alone (which is I think what happened) is the product of the probabilities of each of their pitchers involved getting an out raised to the number of outs each of them pitched. Looks like there were 6 Astros pitchers involved since the 3rd inning and 21 outs, so searching their career IP and H stats (which obviously includes stats from that game to now) the probability that they would combine to get a no hitter through 7 innings would be roughly 0.2%.  Or something like that.

Wednesday looks pleasant.

 

Now that the summer solstice has just passed, I begin to wonder...when does the sun angle no longer allow for near triple-digit temperatures or hotter??  I'm guessing maybe...around Dec. 21 typically???

I copied his post on my brand new phpBB3 forum, ScienceWeather 2, and took at least fifteen screenshots. IPB forums are gonna increase to 99 dollars a MONTH. I can't pay it. I gotta evacuate 20 years of memories from Science Weather 1 or lose them FOREVER! I'd estimate that during the 20 year long blogging craze I amassed about 10,000 blog links that now need to be tested one by one then re-recorded. Damn IPB straight to HELL! If YOU run an Invision Power Forum you are in this mess and they already got your ballz to the Wall with a sledgehammer.

IPB creators have yachts in the Med that we all need to pay for. That's the reason for the abrupt increase in Invision Power Board forum premiums.

URGENT NOTE TO RANDY Stormtracker, If this is an Invision Power Board, you  just might want to look for a new forum software right now. They are going to Version 5, you have to pony up 69 dollars to have this forum upgraded to Version 5, PLUS 99 dollars a month. I am going stir CRRAZY trying to keep twenty years of precious memories, because once they FORCE everyone using an IPB forum up to V5, all forums will pay up the 99 dollars a month premiums or lose their forum forever. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

Around Jan 25. That's typically when the sun angle declines just enough for you guys to cool down into the lower 90s for highs.

George BM, July 1 and a brand spankin new Banter Thread is approaching. PLEASE write us up an EPIC hurricane yarn featuring an epic 270 mph hurricane getting drawn into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay then going stationary right in the middle of it with Bay water temps in the upper 80s. 

Lets start this Summer off with a BANG! HUGE rainbands dumping hyper efficient rain rates, Bay of Fundy-like SURGE and epic Banda Aceh-like waves on top of the surge and tons of tornadoes! Widespread 150 year freshwater flooding, whipped into a Katrina-like froth by the banshee winds over the entire Mid Atlantic! Extreme rain tallies in the Appalachians! Entire towns in western Virginia getting swept out onto the Piedmont by extreme floodwaters!

If there is any professional forecaster in the National Weather Service who can portray this, it has got to be YOU, George BM!!!
