The original story as follows:

CPS Energy is continuing overnight efforts to restore power to more than 10,000 customers on Saturday, June 3, as more possible severe weather looms over San Antonio and the Hill Country following a night of intense wind, heavy rain, and large hail. The utility’s outage map reports 293 active outages affecting 10,748 customers around 8 a.m. 

The National Weather Service said the storms kicked off an active weather pattern in Texas that could cause local daily rain chances will linger through Tuesday, June 6.

According the NWS, a wake low developed over San Antonio, New Braunfels and San Marcos where wind speeds up to 55 mph were reported. NBC News reports five tornados were reported in Texas due to the storm system on Friday, with at least one confirmed to have touched down near Fort Stockton, while flooding that prompted a Sate of Emergency declaration continued to inundate West Texas and the panhandle. 

The chance for more thunderstorms on Saturday is forecasted to hold off until after 5 p.m. in San Antonio as scattered storms could develop over parts of West Texas and Mexico, a report by NWS says. The scattered strong storms could be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and localized flooding in areas hit by heavy rainfall, the report says, and the highest rain potential is expected to be west of Highway 281 through midday Sunday.

Locally heavy rainfall and flooding will be possible through Tuesday, with rain chances becoming more isolated by mid-week, the NWS says.
