Get on up, Sachem! Here's everything you need to know to get this Saturday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Rain, then snow in the p.m. High: 49 low: 23.

Here are the top stories in Sachem today:

  1. LI coyote sightings prompt warning and instructions from officials. Coyotes, spiders, what's next on Long Island? After numerous coyote sightings in and around Long Island (including our area), officials have warnings for the public. "In an interview with Patch, a spokesperson for the Town of Oyster Bay could not exactly say how many coyotes have been spotted recently across Long Island but explained there has been a handful of eyewitness accounts." She also said these sightings should not be cause for panic and that the warning from officials is more of a precautionary measure.

  2. ICYMI: Check out the latest Town of Brookhaven police blotter. The newest police blotter from March 10 has been released by the Suffolk County Police Department. You can see local crimes and arrests in the area in the report. If you have any information on a crime, you can call Suffolk County Crimestoppers at 1-800-221-TIPS. (Sachem Patch)
  3. 35 things to do on Long Island this week. The weekend is finally here, and even though we have some wild weather this weekend, take a look at 35 events going on. Spring is just nine days away, and we will have an extra hour of sunlight with daylight savings on Sunday.
