Good morning, North Fork! It was a beautiful outpouring of love for Dylan Newman in Peconic as two high school varsity teams went to bat, literally, for the Southold High School senior, 18, battling cancer.

During the darkest hours, North Fork residents rise up, join hands and hearts, and help one another weather life's storms. And from the first, they've stepped up in a big way to help Dylan and his family in loving North Fork fashion, a testament to the things that matter in our corner of the world.

Until next time. . .

First, today's weather:
