Last update: 2 hours agoHarmful Algae Alert (Newport): RIDOH and DEM say people should avoid all contact with Almy Pond in Newport due to a harmful algae bloom, including swimming, fishing, boating, and kayaking.

Heat Watch (New England): A warming ridge is building across the region, with Tuesday staying mostly sunny and warm, then humidity rising by Wednesday and thunderstorms possible—an early reminder to plan for hotter, stickier conditions. Coastal Resilience (Stormwater Grants): Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank awarded about $1.1M to 10 communities for stormwater planning and design to cut flooding from stronger storms, including Middletown, Jamestown, and Block Island. Campground Upgrades (Charlestown): Burlingame State Campground in Charlestown is set to open for the season after construction delays, with new ADA-compliant shower/restroom facilities and water-conserving plumbing; the beach stays closed during ongoing work. Wildlife & Water (Narragansett Bay): A mink was filmed attacking a fawn on a Narragansett Bay beach; DEM said the person was interfering with nature, and the injured fawn was taken to a wildlife rehab facility.
