In case you haven't looked outside in awhile, it's a bit dark and stormy out there! 

The National Weather Service says thunderstorms are heading north, continuing until late this afternoon. 

A half inch of rain or more will create minor ponding in low-lying areas. The National Weather Service has issued an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for northeastern Newport County.
