The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for parts of Massachusetts Friday.

The tornado warning for Worcester, Norfolk and Bristol counties was issued at 8:35 a.m. It is expected to last until 9:15 a.m.

The weather service said at 8:30 a.m. that a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located over Scituate, or near Coventry, moving northeast at 30 mph. Parts of the warning also impacted Rhode Island.

The weather service warned of a tornado and quarter size hail.

“Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without shelter,” the weather service said. “Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is likely.”

It also told people to move to a basement or an interior room without windows and take cover.

The weather service had previously predicted scattered thunderstorms with brief torrential downpours and possibly strong winds Friday. The weather service said there is a risk for hail, wind and a tornado but didn’t classify the risk as high Friday morning, adding that it was “possible.”

The rain was expected to start in the Berkshires where there is a hazardous weather outlook. It could last until about 5 p.m. Thunderstorms are most likely from 8. a.m. to 11 a.m.

Near Springfield, rain could last until about 5 p.m. In Central Massachusetts, rain could last until about 4 p.m. In Boston rain isn’t expected to last as long. Rain is likely to stop around 2 p.m. There is a chance for thunderstorms but they aren’t likely.

Cape Cod will see similar rain as in Boston. However, there is a chance for thunderstorms around 1 p.m.

The weekend in Massachusetts is expected to be dry and sunny — a change of pace from many weekends this summer.
