Weather service warns of lightning risk

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather advisory for Rhode Island and much of southern New England for thunderstorms, lightning, high wind gusts and possible flooding.

The forecast, which calls for showers and thunderstorms, could hamper play at the U.S. Women's Open, scheduled to start this morning in Newport.

Temporary downpours could cause flooding in urban areas and areas with poor drainage, the weather service says.

Areas of fog by the coast should lift after 9 a.m. A high surf advisory continues on the coast.
