First, today's weather:

A severe afternoon t-storm. High: 88 low: 71.

Here are the top 3 stories in Huntington today:

"Police said Robert Blackmore, 54, who was arrested Friday night by detectives on the Long Island Expressway in Dix Hills, would grab rocks and throw them at businesses throughout Long Island in order to break into them and steal cash." He was responsible for numerous break-ins that had residents and business owners concerned for months and his crime locations ranged from Patchogue to Commack. (Patch)
