This Morning’s Bulletin — 3.13.18
Good Morning!
• With a couple inches of snow on the ground at daybreak this morning, we’re under a winter storm warning until 6 p.m. today, and we’re expecting another 3 to 8 inches throughout the day today, likely heavier farther east. We’re expecting a steady temperature around 34 today, with a northwest wind 22 to 26 miles per hour and wind chill values between 20 and 25. Snow showers are possible overnight tonight, with skies gradually clearing and a low around 29. Wednesday will be partly sunny, with a high near 40 and a 30 percent chance of afternoon snow showers. Thursday will be partly sunny, with a high near 43.
• Today’s snow cancellations are piling in, first and foremost with the postponement of the Riverhead Town Board’s qualified and eligible hearing for the CAT purchase of a large portion of EPCAL. The hearing, originally scheduled for tonight, will instead be held on Monday, March 19 at 6 p.m. at the Pulaski Street School.
• Southold Town has rescheduled their town board work session and meeting from today at 9 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., respectively, to tomorrow at 9 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. The full agenda for both meetings is online here. East Hampton Town’s 10 a.m. work session and Southampton Town’s 1 p.m. town board meeting are cancelled, and all East End town halls are closed today.
