First, today's weather:

Very warm; breezy in the p.m.. High: 86 low: 67.

Here are the top 4 stories in Huntington today:

1. Donations pouring in for a man shot to death in Huntington Station Saturday night. The GoFundMe organizer Sandra Huffman said, "Because of how unexpected this was, we are raising money for funeral expenses and a starting point for his family and kids," Huffman wrote. "Anything helps and sharing this GoFundMe would be appreciated. His family was the center of his world, and nothing would mean more to him than to know they are being looked after. We appreciate all the love and support." A link to the page is available in the article. (Huntington Patch)

Flags will be flown in three locations in the Town of Huntington to bring awareness to National Recovery Month, which started in 1989.
