- The fire department reported roughly two dozen high-water calls from Monday into early Tuesday, including a ladder-truck rescue of two people from a vehicle off Pinn Road, and officials said no other injuries were reported.
- San Antonio recorded 4.42 inches of rain Monday at the airport in what the National Weather Service called the city's wettest April day in a century, bringing flash-flood warnings and road closures on the north and east sides.
