Things are gonna get real interesting when the tropical storm rotation and prevailing southwest flow start butting heads somewhere in central Texas.

Yeah, I kinda watch what's going on in the Baja Peninsula and Gulf. Most of the time the mountains seem to break things up, but every once in a while, you can track stuff from there right through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and further points.
I use the image I posted above because it's real convenient to flip back and forth from that to the Colorado radar map.

Anyhow, I still wonder about what was happening on the ground, as in my OP. The color temperature chart was a little vague since there were two temperature ranges which could have shown that color coding... at least on my monitor.
