First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and windy. High: 72 low: 58.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Huntington:

1. Equipment and tools stolen from Huntington Station construction site. Someone damaged the locks and entered an open construction site at 350 Walt Whitman Rd., stealing $10,000 worth of equipment and tools. The incident was reported at 6 a.m. Friday and police are conducting an investigation. (Huntington Now)
2. Check out this Centerport 'Wow House'. The beautiful $1.5M home is located at 2 S Centershore Rd., just minutes from Huntington and Northport Village. The stunning home has 7 bedrooms, views of Centerport and Northport Harbor, and a private driveway with room for 15 cars. See pictures of the property in the link. (Patch)
3. Manor Field Spray Park to open next week after renovations. The state-of-the-art park will have push-button technology, sports themed apparatus, an athletic field, and more. “The children of Huntington Station will now have a first-class spray park in their backyard, in addition to a brand-new playground and turf field that athletes of all ages can enjoy,” said Supervisor Ed Smyth.
