SAN ANTONIO — Flood-weary Texans were bracing for heavy rain and possible flooding Wednesday as Tropical Storm Bill was downgraded to a depression and continued to creep inland.

The center of the storm was expected to move northward just west of the Interstate 35 corridor, dropping 4 to 5 inches of rain on areas of Central Texas still cleaning up and recovering from Memorial Day weekend floods that left 14 dead and two missing along the Blanco River alone in Blanco and Hays counties.

The effects of the storm are being felt beyond Texas, as rain fell in Oklahoma and other states, including Missouri where a 60-year-old motorist died when floodwaters swept his car from the road.

The National Hurricane Center said the storm was moving north at about 13 mph and on Wednesday morning was moving into the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Flash flood watches and warnings were in effect for the area, and Gov. Greg Abbott was expected to receive a briefing from state emergency officials Wednesday morning in Austin.
