The temperature reached 82°F in College Station. Fortunately, some drier air filtered down and the evening is comfortable with breezy conditions. The breeze picks up tomorrow: 20 G30 as a dry front approaches the area. Cool, sunny, and and breezy on Thursday leading to mild weekend. Abundant sunshine throughout.

Hoping for a frost sooner, rather than later, to "paint it brown." Brown patch has enveloped the front lawn anyway, despite 3 treatments of fungicide.

You have a serious issue with brown patch every year it seems. I only get it once or twice every few years thankfully.

I had it once at the old house. Lived there 10 years. Haven’t had it at the new house yet. This is our 6th fall here. Haven’t used a fungicide in about 10 years, so who knows? Might be a drainage or over-watering issue? I happen to have excellent drainage on this lot.

Anyway - this was neat. I think I posted the original post years ago too but this gives a little more info:

Iceresistance thats pretty interesting, 00z CMC showing a similar solution with the arctic air aimed more towards texas

[Kingwood36]

I don't believe it

[Stratton20]

New 00z Euro is interesting, im completely throwing the GFS in the trash for this arctic blast, its struggling mightily, the CMC and the Euro solution is what im siding with

Kingwood36 Here is the 00z Euro run

Looking like some cold air is coming..but I'm not ready to bite yet

[Stratton20]

Kingwood36 im not either but it has shown up on the Euro consistently the past few runs plus the CMC has a similar solution to the Euro although its even colder, definitely something to watch!

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
417 AM CST Wed Nov 17 2021

.SHORT TERM [Through Thursday Night]...
Not seeing a lot on radar this morning and with the cap in place, we
should remain on the quiet side of POPs through this afternoon. Rain
chances are expected to increase later tonight along (and maybe just
ahead of) the next cold front. So, for today, breezy/warm/humid con-
ditions should prevail as the WAA pattern remain in place. Highs for
today will range from the lower/mid 80s (depending on cloud cover).

Models remain in fairly good agreement with the timing of the front,
pushing it into the northern CWA around midnight and then at to near
the coast around sunrise. Still thinking that rain chances with this
line will be somewhat limited given the lower PWs (1.1-1.2") and the
lingering cap, but there should be enough lift from the front itself
to produce a thin/broken line of showers and perhaps isolated thun-
derstorms as it reaches the coast. Cooler/drier air behind the front
will begin filtering into the CWA tomorrow/tomorrow night. Highs for
tomorrow will be in the mid/upper 60s with lows falling into the 40s.
Strong/gusty north winds developing in the post-frontal air mass for
tomorrow morning and afternoon are progged to begin decreasing later
in the day (evening). 41

&&

.LONG TERM [Friday Through Wednesday]...
A cool start to the day with readings in the 40s should keep
high temps in the 60s on Friday. As high pressure edges further
to our east onshore winds will resume and expect a gradual warming
trend thru the weekend. Clouds will be on the increase, but rain
chances should hold off until late Sunday and Sunday night when
the next front is forecast to move into the region. (The 00z
guidance generally favors the faster fropa advertised by past
runs). Looking for a thin band of precip along the leading edge of
the front followed by clearing/breezy conditions in its wake for
the remainder of the day Monday.

Those getting an early start for Thanksgiving travel should be
fine wx-wise in SE TX into Wed...but late Wed into Friday there`s
considerable uncertainty. Extended guidance is in fairly decent
agreement showing a front moving across north Tx toward our area
Wed night and Thanksgiving along with some associated precip.
Question is how the upper pattern evolves. Will the western trof
be more progressive, or cutoff leading to a slower front and a
series of upper disturbances riding overhead? It`s beyond the
scope of this fcst package, but something we`ll be looking at in
the days ahead. 47

&&

.AVIATION [12Z TAF Issuance]...
With an elevated (20-30kts) southerly flow persisting just above the
surface, fog development so far this morning has been rather limited
along with lower ceilings. Not planning on a lot of changes with the
12Z TAF package with regards to the timing of the cold front tonight.
Ongoing trends look to be on track. 41

&&

.MARINE...
Issued a short fuse small craft advsy for the 20-60nm group with
ongoing south winds 20-25kt and seas 5-7ft. Otherwise, southerly
winds will begin diminishing later this morning and afternoon. A
cold front is forecast to push through the waters Thursday morning
with moderate north and northeast winds in its wake through
Thursday night. SCA`s will be required. Winds and seas will
diminish through the day and night Friday as high pressure moves
into the region. An onshore flow will resume this weekend ahead of
the next front Sunday night. 47

Half-way expecting that to verify just because the last time my wife went to visit her family in California and I stayed here with our dog was the week of the ice storm. My wife is going again next week and I've managed to avoid it again, staying home with our dogs.
