Multiple rounds of rain and scattered downpours have already proven to be beneficial this last full week of July.
These recent rains have already helped the Edwards Aquifer, increased river streamflow, and dropped multi-inch totals over the most drought-stricken parts of our area.

Too much rain falling in too little time can lead to a few flooding issues, as seen in these photos/videos sent into KSAT Connect from Tuesday’s gully washer in the Hill Country.
We’ll keep our eyes on the potential to see a few more localized flooding issues develop, mainly if additional downpours occur over already-saturated areas. More updates to come!
