Wiley said San Angelo could see up to two more inches of rain, as the area is still looking at a near 100% chance of heavy rainfall. There were no reports of closed roads due to flooding, but there is a flash flood watch in effect until 11 p.m. Wednesday.
And some areas were hit by hail as the storm passed.
"There wasn't any reported hail in San Angelo, but places like Coke County received quarter sized hail," Wiley said. "The Coleman County area saw quarter sized hail and the Big Country out near Sweetwater saw 2.5 inches in diameter."
Wind gusts topped at 45-60 mph in Coke and Runnels counties.
Rain will clear out of the area Thursday with mostly sunny skies and a high of 83 degrees. No more severe weather is in the forecast for the rest of the week after Wednesday.
