This Morning's Bulletin — 11.26.25

Good Morning!

• We're expecting rain today, mainly between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., then a chance of showers after 10 a.m., with cloudy skies, a high temperature near 61 degrees and a southwest wind 7 to 10 miles per hour, with gusts as high as 20 mph. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch are possible. Take heart in the photo above of yesterday's sunrise over New Suffolk. This too shall pass. It will be mostly cloudy overnight, with a low around 35, and mostly sunny on Thanksgiving, with a high near 45. Black Friday sees mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions, with a high near 44 degrees.

• The results of this week’s manual recount of the Riverhead Town Supervisor race are in, and it’s official — Town Supervisor Tim Hubbard has been defeated by political newcomer Jerry Halpin, a local pastor, by 37 votes. Mr. Hubbard's office issued a statement conceding the race on Tuesday afternoon. Read More.

• If the thought of tomorrow's feast has you worried about wasted food, take heart. Food waste could soon be a thing of the past on the North Fork, thanks to efforts afoot to bring excess food to people in need. Read More.

• Across the East End and New York State, young people now have a greater voice in their educational experience, after the state mandated that school boards include a non-voting student member on their board beginning in July of this year. We tagged along to hear what these students, from Mattituck to Greenport to East Hampton and many places in between, had to say at this year's League of Women Voters "Running and Winning" student workshop.

• The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center hosts a New York Blood Center blood drive today from noon to 4:30 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments can also be made online here.

• The Shinnecock Canal Maritime Park on the west side of Shinnecock Inlet held a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday for seven exercise stations along the 1/6 mile path, all of which are designed to be ADA compliant and open to the public, free of charge. The stations range from hand and recumbant bicycles to leg and chest presses, pull-up stations, balance steps and lower body exercises. The path can be accessed from the town’s Parks & Recreation offices at 6 Newtown Road in Hampton Bays.

• Christmas festivities are just around the corner.... catch up on the local goings on by checking in with our Events Calendar.

Stay safe out there, and pick up a copy of our December print edition, hot off the presses, starting Saturday, Nov. 29 at these newsstands.
