This Morning’s Bulletin — 5.30.23

Good Morning!

• We’re expecting widespread haze and patchy smoke this morning due to wildfires in western Canada. This isn’t the first time wildfires out west have affected Long Island — skies in the metropolitan area were tinged with red due to the wildfires a week ago, and we’ve had haze on Long Island during western fire seasons the past two years. Other than that, it will be sunny today, with a high temperature near 65 degrees and an east wind around 11 miles per hour. We’re expecting increasing clouds overnight, with a low around 46. Wednesday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 74, and Thursday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 82.

• As New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on the federal government this week for expedited work authorization for migrants seeking asylum here, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone issued an emergency order Friday evening that his office says is designed “to ensure a coordinated response to the ongoing crisis.” Read More.
