Most of San Antonio area got nothing but a trace ( < 0.2 inches) over the last 24 hours, Sat + Sun:

Yep, Central TX is in a severe drought, but 4th weekend manages to be overcast + drizzle (but not enough moisture to make a difference) to the aquifer.

.... flirting with 650 feet which triggers (weak) restrictions.

I don't know what that link said at the time you posted it, but I know many parts of San Antonio got 1.5 inches of rain (my part included). Plus, the Aquifer rose from 650.4 on 6/30 to 652.7 on 7/2.

I already got a nice 20 min rain just this morning.

"I know many parts of San Antonio got 1.5 inches of rain"

how you know that? That accumulated rain map has been very accurate in mirroring what I see falling in my area, and what shows up as runoff in the Salado creek that crosses my property. The 1-hour rain animation is very accurate in showing rain moving through the central TX area.

As of 11 AM Sunday, when I posted that link for accumulated rainfail, nothing but a trace over mose of SA metro area, with a couple of small areas getting 0.5".

Sunday evening, the The Salado creek at 410 whose catchment area is north and n/e had a little bit volume, but Monday moring, is is essentially emtpy, when 0.5" rain in catchment area fills it. So there has been no 1.5" of rain in north/central and n/east SA Sunday and Monday morning.

I was out a St Mary's U early afternoon, and then left after the U18 championship. I ddn't see any rain before, and no sign
of 1.5" or any heavy rain having falling in the afternoon at 7:30 PM when I left SMU.

The Edwards aquifer isn't recharged by rain in SA. There was heavy rain in the Hill Country around Medina and Frio valley a couple days ago, which IS aquifer recharge zone, and the aquifer flows from there east towards SA.

You can see the jump up in aquifer level of today (from those heavy hill country rains of a couple days ago) here:

It drizzled here for about an hour early Sat. morning and then rained very hard for about an hour early Sat afternoon. I watched the news that afternoon to see how much rainfall the area got, and scattered around the city the rain total was 1.5". Others got .75" to 1".

[sa_butta]

Are we gonna get any action here or what??

[Sonia_TX]

Getting some good rain right now! That should help me get to sleep.

And just like that it was gone.

I love how weather seems to freak out/amaze San Antonians so much.

Like Monday afternoon when it was raining in my front yard and not in the back? Or like Tuesday driving about 20 miles down 306 to Canyon Lake I went through 5 different patches of storms, and as many sunny?

These have been the most isolated showers I ever remember seeing ... it wouldn't surprise me at all that some areas of town got a few inches while some got very little. San Antonio is a big city.
