More problems with my new lawn?

I feel like I'm on here once a week seeking out your advice. I promise once I become more knowledgeable on turf and its care I'll pass it along.

Anyway, my newly planted fine fescue/KBG lawn is doing pretty well. Typical problems with a spring planting (weeds mainly). Now I see the grass that was already established starting to show some problems. It's been pretty hot, but only for a few days and we've had a good amount of water. Any idea what this could be?

Looks like your weeds are suffering from heat stress.

Really, I try so hard to keep them happy. :) Do you think that's all it is?

I didn't eliminate the old grass before seeding my new lawn, but probably should have. The grass I planted is doing well, but most of the grass that was already established is not. At least, I had assumed it was grass. I'm going to use a weed killer when my new grass can better tolerate it, so hopefully that will help.
