“Showers are continuing to sweep across parts of the drought-stricken Southern Plains and Southeast.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results for this claim are entirely commercial (The Home Depot, Lowe's) and do not discuss weather patterns. The Wikipedia results are about unrelated topics (tornadoes, Japanese plains, wind lists). Therefore, the evidence provided does not support the claim, and the claim itself appears to be based on external, unprovided context, making it impossible to corroborate.

“San Antonio recorded 4.42 inches of rain, which is the third-wettest April day on record.”
MISLEADING
While the evidence confirms San Antonio recorded 4.42 inches of rain, the claim that this was the 'third-wettest April day on record' is contradicted by a more specific, authoritative web search result which states it was the 'highest single-day April rainfall total in the past 100 years.' The claim presents a technically true fact (the amount of rain) but uses an outdated or less accurate superlative ('third-wettest') in a misleading context.
