Unveiling the Rain Report: Drizzle or Downpour?

QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
- Camp Mabry (aka Official Rain HQ): Our most reliable source, Camp Mabry, reported a touch over half an inch of rain. Not bad, but not exactly a flood, either.
- The Great Rain Radar in the Sky: Now, things get interesting. Radar estimates suggest some parts of Travis County, especially north and west of Austin, might have seen between 1 and 2 inches of rain.
- The Hill Country Heard it From Above: But wait, there's more! Those beautiful rolling hills out west weren't shy! They soaked up the most, with estimates showing 1 to 3 inches in some areas.
