Canyon Lake

The National Weather Service extended a flood watch for the Hill Country and the counties of Travis and Williamson through Monday evening.

Increase in water levels may lead to reopening of recreation areas and boat ramps.

The Edwards Aquifer rose three feet since Friday. The San Antonio Pool of the aquifer stood at nearly 638 feet on Monday, according to the Edwards Aquifer Authority. That is 10 feet higher than it was a year ago at this time.

Extreme drought conditions cover the lake area, along with most of Comal, Bandera, Bexar, Kendall, and Medina counties, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and are among the worst drought conditions anywhere in the nation.

It was rather shallow, at just under two kilometers below the Earth's surface. There were no reports of serious damage.

Medina Lake levels are up five feet — about 3% of its full capacity — according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Officials cautioned water recreationists, such as boaters and jet skiers, to watch out for an increase in obstacles that may now be sticking out above the water line, or worse, hiding just below the surface.

The National Weather Service reports all of Bexar and surrounding counties and the Hill Country are no longer in drought conditions as of the end of May
