Happy Monday, Sachem! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening locally today.

First, today's weather:

A heavy t-storm in the p.m.. High: 70 low: 57.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

  1. Suspect caught and charged in deadly hit-and-run that killed 2 men in Holtsville. 30-year-old Johanna Iovino, of Lake Ronkonkoma, was arrested after she hit Robert Kehlenbeck, 46, and 37-year-old Ryan Walker while they were working on a 1989 Ford F-150 on the LIE Service Rd outside of Walker's home. Iovino left the scene and is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. If convicted, she faces up to 7 years in prison on each count. (Sachem Patch)
  2. As the warmer weather is finally here, that means outside activities and romantic getaways. Take a look at five spots in New York for a romantic getaway by clicking the link! Our pick would be the Catskills, a truly beautiful area in upstate New York. (Patch)
  3. Weather report for the work week looks great. It seems that we skipped spring, as temperatures have been hot and humid all week. The weather will cool down and expect beautiful weather for your work week, with the only chance of rain on Monday afternoon. Storms may be severe on Monday afternoon but last a short time. Temperatures will be in the high 60s to low 70s, with sunny skies all week. (Weather.com)
