Hail from pea size up to golf ball size in some areas came along with the rain.

The weekend rain, coupled with the .3” that fell early Wednesday morning, brings Purcell’s unofficial total to 4.37. The normal for the year-to-date is 5.09”. Oklahoma City has recorded 2.98”.

Additional rain was in the forecast.
