Happy Monday, neighbors! Let's get you all caught up on what's happening locally to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny, breezy and cold. High: 26 low: 18.

Here are the top stories today in Huntington:

1. Check out student-athlete awards in our area. Gianna Paul earned a place on the All-American girls' soccer team. Paul is a Walt Whitman senior girls soccer player and excelled on and off the field to be selected. “We are so proud of Gianna for earning this tremendous honor,” said David Barth, supervisor of Physical Education, Health, Athletics and Recreation. “She is a terrific representative of the South Huntington School District, and a true leader on and off the soccer field.” 12 members of the Harborfield's varsity field hockey team were recently named to the 2021 National Academic Squad by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. Athletes must have a 3.5 average or higher to earn this selection. (http://www.huntingtonNow.com)
2. Huntington weather forecast for the week ahead brings back the cold to start the week. We hope you enjoyed the typical weird February weather the past few days. We had three days of beautiful weather, followed by a few inches of snow on Sunday. The weather forecast remains cold for Monday and Tuesday, but the end of the week will bring a warmup with temperatures back into the 50s. (Huntington Patch)
3. Take a look at 5 new homes for sale in the Huntington area. Inventory is low and prices are still high, but experts expect home prices to decrease by the end of the year. We know how frustrating it is to look for homes online, so we've compiled a list of 5 new homes for sale in our area. The homes include one with 2 beds and 1 bath for $434,900, and another with 4 beds and 3 baths for $679,000.(Huntington Patch)
