 From the Brown Physicians News Center, I'm Steve Clampkin with the 6 o'clock WPR Roneos. Good evening. The National Weather Service has just issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the Rhode Island area, northern Rhode Island at least, Kent and Providence counties. But much of the rest of New England is under a severe thunderstorm warning with radar-indicated thunderstorms, heavy thunderstorm activity in the Pittsfield, Massachusetts area and heading westward.
