April brought some much needed rain to South Central Texas. Most of the eastern half of the area received 150% or more of normal rainfall and only Kinney, Maverick, and Zavala Counties got less than 25% of normal. This rain had a mixed impact on the drought. Edwards (Stage D3), Bastrop (D2), Caldwell (D2), Fayette (D2), and Gonzales (D2) Counties each improved a category.

The Texas Crop and Weather Report issued by Texas A and M Agricultural indicated livestock producers were supplying supplemental feed and de-stocking as necessary. The seven day stream flow averages were much below normal (less than 10 percent) across the Colorado, Guadalupe, Nueces, and Frio River basins.

Uvalde moved into stage 5 water restrictions and the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District into stage 3.

April brought some much needed rain to South Central Texas. Most of the eastern half of the area received 150% or more of normal rainfall and only Kinney, Maverick, and Zavala Counties got less than 25% of normal. This rain had a mixed impact on the drought.
