Was still pretty tame at 11 last night. Wind finally ramped up early this morning.

I don’t really think anyone in the area got any rain outta this outside a few sprinkles.

This graphic from Brazoria County makes no sense. I don't see how Angleton has a 24% chance to freeze when the freezing line is mostly north of Harris County.

Because that freezing line isn’t set in stone. That’s why there’s a chance.

The Angleton/Lake Jackson airport is a cool spot similar to Conroe. On nights with clear skies and light winds radiational cooling drops them colder than the surrounding area. I tested it with multiple vehicles and the temp drops right when you get off 288 and get to the airport. Lake Jackson is about 5 degrees warmer or more.

Our CLL airport is on high ground and a warm spot (UHI next to and part of A&M). We'll have frost on the ground both nights and I think actual freezing temps on Wednesday night IMBY.

lol from A/C to the NG furnace in less than 24 hours.

We're currently at 44°F at the airport and going nowhere. 42°F IMBY. Still some serious advection with N23 G30 and light rain. Some like it raw. 8-)

I think we'll hit freezing either Tuesday or Wednesday night with light winds, clear skies.

I’m perfectly fine with this weather as long as it doesn’t get me sick from such a big transition. At least now I can drive at night time out in the country and not have to worry about hitting 10,000 bugs before I reach my destination.
