This Morning’s Bulletin — 1.29.16

Good Morning!

• We’re expecting scattered snow showers, mainly between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. today. It will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 40 degrees but wind chill values between 25 and 30 due to west winds increasing to 12 to 17 miles per hour in the afternoon. Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 24. On Saturday we’re expecting increasing clouds throughout the day, with a high near 39. Sunday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 48.

• The New York Department of Environmental Conservation is currently working on a “conceptual draft scope” document for their Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan, designed to address the harm that excess nitrogen from septic systems and fertilizers is doing to our aquatic and marine ecosystems. They’re meeting with members of the public next Tuesday, Feb. 2 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Suffolk County Community College Culinary Arts and Hospitality Center in Riverhead. The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• Three East End theater companies have shows closing this weekend, so if you were planning on seeing “Dead Accounts” in Quogue, “Sordid Lives” in Southampton or “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in Mattituck, you don’t have much time left. More information is online here.
