Good Morning!

• The fine weather over the weekend is expected to continue into this week. Today will be sunny, with a high near 73 degrees and a northwest wind around 7 miles per hour, becoming southeast in the afternoon. There’s a 20 percent chance of showers overnight, and we’re expecting clouds tomorrow morning, but it will gradually clear and we’re expecting a high near 63 degrees. Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be sunny, with highs both days near 60 degrees.

• Southampton Town’s experimental plan to allow traffic straight through the traffic light on County Road 39 at Tuckahoe Road will begin tomorrow from 6 to 9 a.m., and will end on Thursday. During the three-day trial, cars will not be allowed to turn left from Tuckahoe Road onto County Road 39, or from the westbound lane of County Road 39 onto Tuckahoe Road southbound. Cars on Tuckahoe Road will also not be able to travel straight through the intersection. Full details are online here.

• Southold Town has just released the draft Land Use chapter of the town’s comprehensive plan update, available online here. The land use chapter outlines broad recommendations for zoning changes, but does not propose specific changes to zoning in Southold. The town is planning three community meetings to discuss the chapter in the upcoming weeks. The Beacon’s full story is online here.
