First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 50 low: 40.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

1. Local weather for the weekend brings rain, wind, and snow. As we look to the weekend forecast, another wild weather pattern is in store for us. Friday will be a nice day with a high near 50, but Saturday morning brings a storm that packs rain and snow, and temperatures are supposed to drop in the afternoon when winds will pick up. Sunday will be cold and windy with temperatures only reaching a high of 37 degrees. Plan accordingly! (Huntington Patch)
2. Spotlight Art Bar @ The Paramount to mark official opening March 18. Spotlight Art Bar in Huntington Village is a live music lovers dream.
