Severe thunderstorms could hit region this afternoon

Scattered thunderstorms could be here soon, if you haven't heard booms already, and some could be severe, the National Weather Service reports.

The weather service, under its "hazardous weather outlook," lists northern Rhode Island and, specifically, Providence, Kent County abd Bristol County

"The main threats will be lightning and very heavy rainfall,' the weather service's outlook says. "... But damaging winds and an isoloated tornado can not be ruled out ... especially south of the Mass Pike and west of the I-95 corridor."

The chance of rain is 70 percent in the late afternoon and 40 percent tonight, the weather service said.
