Hey, friends! It's me, Andrew Tessler, your host of the Sachem Daily — here to tell you all the most important things happening in town.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 82 low: 67.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

  1. After heavy rain, 63 beaches in Suffolk are closed to swimming. Swimming is prohibited when New York State determines bacteria levels in the water to be unsafe and the state recommends no swimming until the water has been flushed by two tidal cycles. Click the link for a list of what beaches are closed to swimming. (Patch)
  2. What you need to know to avoid hot car deaths in summer. As temperatures continue to rise with the season, make sure you avoid leaving children in the car. Click the link to learn safety and memory tips to keep your children safe this summer. (Patch)
