In addition to periods of torrential rain, pea-sized hail was reported in both the East and West Bay, from West Warwick and Coventry to Barrington, and even in Swansea, Massachusetts.

Penny-sized hail was reported in West Warwick, with one user on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, posting hail that fell in East Greenwich was 3/8".
