Drought persists despite recent rain in San Antonio

State of play: The Edwards Aquifer, the city's primary water source, stood at about 635 feet above sea level as of Thursday.

• The Edwards Aquifer Authority enters stage 4 restrictions, the most severe, when the 10-day average is less than 630 feet.

The big picture: Despite the recent rainfall, Bexar County remains in a moderate drought, with parts of Bandera and Kendall counties experiencing extreme drought conditions, per the U.S. Drought Monitor.

What we're watching: The rain's impact on tubing trips.

• Texas Tubes, a major outfitter for the Comal River, said online Thursday that the waterway is flowing at 122 cubic feet per second (cfs), which makes for a 3- to 4-hour float.
• It's an improvement from May when the river flowed at 116 cfs.

Yes, but: Each river has its ideal rate for tubing. Texas Tubes previously said online that the Comal River flowed at an average of 306 cfs before the drought.

What's next: There's a chance of showers throughout the weekend.
