More thunderstorms possible Sunday afternoon

Strong storms are possible, with torrential rain and heavy wind

Posted

After bumpy weather Friday afternoon, the area could be in for another round of thunderstorms Sunday afternoon.

The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for much of Rhode Island, including Bristol County. A front is expected to move through the area Sunday afternoon, potentially creating strong, isolated thunderstorms. The weather service predicts a 50 percent chance of storms in Bristol County Sunday afternoon, mainly before 7 p.m.

Storms Friday afternoon damaged trees in the area, especially in the northern end of Bristol along Hope Street, where large branches blocked traffic. Torrential rains, like those seen Friday, are likely with any storms that hit Sunday afternoon, possibly causing localized flooding.
