A flash flood warning for Bexar and surrounding counties is canceled. But a flood advisory is in effect for Bexar and surrounding counties to the north, KSAT 12 Meteorologist Mike Osterhage said.

Since midnight, the San Antonio International Airport has received more than 4 inches of rain. At one point this morning, the rainfall came down so hard, that 1.3 inches of rain fell in 27 minutes, Mike said. Since the weekend, the airport rain gauge has recorded 6 inches of rain.

A cool front is slowly making its way through the San Antonio area. Expect the high temperature Monday to be in the mid- to upper-70s, Mike said. But cooler and drier air is forecast for the rest of the week into the weekend. Low temperatures are expected to be in the low- to mid-60s and highs in the low- to mid-80s, Mike said.
