RI Weather Forecast: Severe Thunderstorm Warning

The storm is on the move, forcing into effect a severe thunderstorm warning across most of Rhode Island. A flash flood watch is still in effect for the rest of Eastern and much of Central Massachusetts, in case you're on the road today.

There are currently more than 14,000 National Grid customers without power throughout Rhode Island.
