Severe Thunderstorms Possible Again Monday for RI

RHODE ISLAND—It's a hot, muggy Monday—perfect for hitting the beach or the backyard pool. It's also ideal conditions for powerful thunderstorms to form.

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the entire state until 8 p.m. Monday.

The storm activity is making its way east and should be right overhead by mid- to late-afternoon, according to the weather service.

Like recent storm activity, showers could be isolated with one town seeing torrential downpours with sunny skies the next town over.

On Sunday, for example, most of the state steered clear of storm activity. But in Cranston, a series of storms delivered at-times tremendous rainfall for much of the afternoon, flooding streets and saturating parched lawns.
