This Morning's Bulletin — 10.10.25

Good Morning!

• We're expecting sunny skies today, with a high temperature near 62 degrees and a northeast wind around 6 mile per hour, becoming south in the afternoon. We're expecting increasing clouds overnight, with a low around 52. Saturday will be partly sunny, with a high near 68 and a 20 percent chance of showers after 2 p.m., ahead of a nor'ester coming in overnight to spoil the rest of the holiday weekend — we're expecting heavy rain and wind Sunday and Monday.

But numerous residents who showed up for an Oct. 7 public hearing on the changes raised objections to a section of the updated code that adds new fresh and brackish water bodies to the town’s already long list of areas where new private docks are prohibited.

• Yes, the actors in the North Fork Community Theatre's new production of "A Few Good Men" can handle the truth. You can stop asking them. Aaron Sorkin's iconic courtroom drama about the moral conflicts inherent in military service comes to the Mattituck stage today, and this production has drawn a cast of great actors out of the woodwork.
