Dangerous rip tide threatens swimmers today

The National Weather Service has issued a rip-tide alert for today for all Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts ocean beaches.

The high risk of rip currents, the weather service says, means that "dangerous and potentially life-threatening conditions" exist for anyone entering the water.

The warning is in effect until 8 p.m.

The weather service has also issued a small-craft and a high-surf warnings for the southern New England coast.
