Good Morning!

• We’re expecting patchy fog before 10 a.m. today, but otherwise it will be partly sunny, with a high near 70 and an east wind 7 to 9 miles per hour. It will be partly cloudy overnight, with a low around 53. Thursday will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 69, and Friday will be cloudy, with a high near 75.

• On the sunny Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, Lewis Street in Riverhead was filled with friends of Tech. Sgt. Dashan Briggs of the Air National Guard’s 106th Rescue Wing, all there to witness the changing of the name of his childhood home to “Tech. Sgt. Dashan J. Briggs Way.” The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• Right around the time of the full moons in May and June, horseshoe crabs have been on their most frenzied behavior for millions of years, and this year will be no exception. Get the details of what you can do to help this amazing animal online here.

• Mattituck American Legion Post Commander John Ribiero reminded us this Memorial Day that “our sacred dead weren’t from some “STAR WARS” cloning facility. They had families. Mothers, Fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents. People who they loved, and who loved them in return. Read his passionate letter online here.
