northtexasbandfan Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 That time of year it could be anything. I'd figure around 40's maybe 50's during the day. The days before Avon went to SA, they were practicing in the 30's before hitting the Texas heat. Currently we've been down in the 40's at night and lower 70's in the evening so great sleeping weather with a window open. If I remember correctly, the Super Bowl in Indy had better weather over the Super Bowl in Dallas. We can have all 4 seasons in a day here! When FloMo went to Grand Nats in 2014 it was absolutely frigid. Never saw the north side of 32 degrees. The walk from the Convention Center to the south side of Lucas Oil to enter was looooong and cooooold! FloMoParent 1 Quote

WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 There’s an underground tunnel from the convention center into LOS. We had to get special permission to take the band through there for finals. Prelims and semi finals we had to walk outside and around... LeanderMomma 1 Quote

Well I was selfishly talking about myself. I don’t know if Leander went through the tunnel for finals. It seemed like they did. But I sure as heck did. WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote

lostbandmom42 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Its one time I'm very grateful for a Thursday night game, it was nice an warm last night, and it was 44 today. I wasn't ready for this big of a weather change yet. WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote
WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Looks like this week will be hit or miss for Houston area bands if they get practices in. For us it’s high chance of rain tomorrow afternoon, wed is homecoming parade, Thursday might be the only clear day for practice... then homecoming game Friday and dance Saturday... and rain next week Monday, and hopefully clear for UIL tuesday.

TWHSParent Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 There is another disturbance that is forecast to enter the GoM this week. Currently has a 50% chance of development. Also currently forecast to stay east of the Texas coast due to a cold front pushing it away later this week. WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote

WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Anyone from the Dallas area? Just wondering how the band families up there fared during the storms/tornado this morning. Quote
FloMoParent Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 The serious stuff was south and east of the LISD north area. I don't know about Dallas proper areas. Some of the people at work had issues or near misses. WoodlandsMom4ever 1 Quote
josephbandfan Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Woke up at 1 from all the noise! But a beautiful lightning show though. It was trash day in my neighborhood so some of it ended up on the streets. Quote
LHSbandDad Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Rain in Austin area this week forecasted on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bad timing right before BOA SA!! Quote
WoodlandsMom4ever Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Yep. Looking at the same in Houston. ⛈ Quote
TWHSParent Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Here in Houston it looks like Tuesday night, Wednesday all day, and Thursday morning will be a washout. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are currently looking OK, as is Friday. Quote

MadisonBandMan1 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Our stadium rehearsal is tonight, and we are still planing on doing it if the weather is not too bad this afternoon. We are making it into a sendoff event that I'll post over on the BOA SA thread. By the way, at 3:00 PM yesterday the temperature difference from Laredo to Amarillo was 55 degrees. It was 89 in Laredo and 34 in Amarillo. There are two different cold fronts pushing through this week. One that stopped in the middle of Texas for a couple days before pushing south this morning and creating an overrunning effect, and the second much stronger front pushing through tomorrow which will drop the temperature substantially and bringing the first sub-40 degree temperatures of the season for the greater San-Antonio metro. Then the skies will clear and the temperatures will rebound into the seventies this weekend like nothing ever happened. Talk about bipolar weather in the state of Texas, am I right? Quote
An Inspirational Pinecone Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Can we talk about Indy weather for a second? It's supposed to have a high of 45 and a low of 32... The entire 3 days of the competition is gonna be just as bad with a lowest low of 26 and highest high of 49. Lemme tell ya, not looking forward to the walks between the convention center and the stadium this season Quote

Lemme tell ya, not looking forward to the walks between the convention center and the stadium this season No kidding!! I had all these things on my list to walk to and see inbetween performances (Canal area / War Memorials, etc.) but am rethinking that plan and looking at indoor museum options now. Not to mention the walks to / from the stadium. Brrrr...... Quote

Lemme tell ya, not looking forward to the walks between the convention center and the stadium this season That is quite nice as compared to when I went (2014). I don't think the high reached 30 the entire time. Lows were in the teens to single digits. It was MISERABLE outside (so the only time I spent outside was walking from my hotel {across the street} to LOS or The Ram). northtexasbandfan 1 Quote

Not to mention the walks to / from the stadium. Brrrr...... Still a little far off to make final plans as the forecast can change quite a bit in a week. From the current forecast there is a strong front going through early next week that will probably knock the temps down, but they may rebound at least a little by the end of the week. Maybe. But really, 20's and 30's isn't that cold, especially if you wear the right clothes (yes, I grew up about 150 miles from Indy, so I remember the climate there pretty well). Main thing to consider is the wind chill, not the air temperature. 30's with sun and no wind really isn't bad to walk around in. Of course, I wilt in 90's, and you native Texans probably love them.... The 2 times that I've attended: 2015 was about 20's to 30's with a steady windchill in the teens the whole time, which is what it is looking like at the moment. 2017 was quite a bit warmer for most of the competition, and I didn't need more than a jacket (certainly not a coat) on Friday to walk around outside. I think Saturday was cooler. Quote
