Thanks to this week's showers, the burn ban in Hays County has been lifted. San Marcos was lucky enough to get almost an inch of rain on Tuesday. Despite the welcomed rain, city officials continue to urge residents to be cautious.  According to the Texas Forest Service website, four million acres have burned since November of last year. So far, 194 counties have outdoor burn bans including Travis and Comal. The burn ban in Hays County will most likely be temporary because dry conditions are expected to return.
