  • During the Trump administration, NOAA downsizing caused the San Antonio NWS office to lose its warning coordination meteorologist and shed nearly 600 staff by spring.
  • The NWS issued a flood watch on July 3 at 1:18 p.m., with warnings over three hours ahead and the Guadalupe River rising 20 feet in three hours.
