THE PLT HAD RECEIVED A TELEPHONE WX BRIEFING AT 1610 & AN IN-PERSON WX BRIEFING AT 1932, ABOUT 45 MIN BEFORE TAKEOFF. THE LOCAL WX DETERIORATED CONSIDERABLY BETWEEN THE LAST BRIEFING & THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE ACFT DEPARTED AT 2016, & AT 2024 THE ACFT IMPACTED IN A GRAVEL QUARRY IN A 90 DEG NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE. THE ACCIDENT LOCATION WAS ABOUT 800 YDS WNW OF THE COLLEGE STATION VORTAC, 3 MI WEST OF COLLEGE STATION. AN ARRIVING PLT REPORTED THAT HE OBSERVED A SOLID CLOUD/DECK FROM 1 MI EAST OF THE VORTAC EXTENDING WESTWARD WITH GROUND FOG THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE AREA. THERE WERE NO ENTRIES IN THE PLT'S LOGBOOK FOR THE 90 DAYS PRECEDING THE ACCIDENT. THE INCREASED FOG WAS DUE TO A LOCAL UNFORCAST CONDITION ATTRIBUTED TO 'RIVER EFFECT' FROM THE BRAZOS RIVER.
