First, today's weather:

Becoming windier and warmer. High: 61 low: 53.

Here are the top 3 stories in Huntington today:

1. A Dix Hills home was broken into on March 17 but was reported on Monday to police. Two designer handbags were stolen after someone forced their way into the Black Oak Court home. Cash and jewelry were also stolen from the home. (Patch)
2. Patrick Godfrey Jr. graduated Harborfields in 2015 and went on to play football for four years at Clemson University as an offensive lineman. Godfrey walked on to the team and received a full scholarship, winning two national championships. He spoke to 15 student-athletes who are continuing their athletic careers at the college level.

3. Untapped's "10 Gold Coast Mansions of Long Island" features Coindre Hall as number one. The North Shore and Gold Coast offer some serious scenery and are home to a lot of the wealthiest people in the country. The parties, lavish lifestyles, and "Great Gatsby" vibes are what attracts many people to the Gold Coast. The good news is there are plenty of mansions that you can check out without having to know someone. Check out this list featuring the best mansions on LI. (Untapped New York)
