🌱 Huntington Daily: Rain This Week + 'I Love My Park Day'

Morning, neighbors! It's me again, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Huntington Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sun giving way to clouds. High: 65 low: 50.

Here are the top 4 stories in Huntington today:

1. More rain and unseasonably low temperatures for the work week. As you enjoy your Sunday, get ready for what the weather will bring during the week. Temperatures will again be colder than usual, and we will have rain Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our pick of the week is Thursday, where the high temperature may reach 70 and the sun will be shining all day. (Weather.com)
2. Get out and help New York State Parks for 'I Love My Park Day'. On May 7, parks across New York State are holding events that you can participate in. We have created a list for you of all parks holding events where you can help with cleanups, planting, and more. Just hit the link to see the list. (Patch)
3. April 30 Suffolk Arrest Report. Check out the most recent arrests in the area with Suffolk County's newest arrest report. If you ever witness a crime or have information pertaining to one, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-221-TIPS. Information is anonymous and a cash reward is often offered. (Patch)
4. Check out this $1.225M Northport home with water views. The home is located at 21 Hawkins Dr. and offers stunning views of Northport Bay. "The first floor includes a sizeable entry foyer, open floorplan with spacious living room, family room w/ fireplace, recently updated custom gourmet kitchen with high-end stainless steel Viking appliances, double sinks, beverage/entertainment center. Double staircases provide convenient access to both ends of the home with mudroom and laundry. The second floor offers a Master Bedroom with a newly renovated en-suite and walk-in closets, 3 additional generous bedrooms and an updated full bath, and a walk-in attic for expansion or ample storage. With private beach access, a quiet street, and the spectacular colorful sunsets, this home is not to be missed." (Patch)
