Morning, Southampton! Diane Witek here with everything you need to know to get this Thursday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Rain, then snow, 1-2 inches. High: 39, low: 17.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

  1. Hamptons events this week: Jan. 21–27. There are all kinds of activity going on this week, from live music at Cowfish to hiking Two Ponds. See our listings. (Dan's Papers)

  2. Jordain Baskerville, 16, left the Timothy Hill Children's Ranch on Sunday without permission. Jordain is white, 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 150 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair; he was last seen wearing a black bubble jacket, jeans and black shoes, police said. Anyone with information about his location is asked to call Riverhead Police at 631-727-4500. (Riverhead Patch)

  3. N95s are coming our way! We are all requesting free at-home COVID tests, so it makes sense that N95s would come next. The Biden administration plans to give out 400 million free N95 masks in the coming weeks. The free masks will be made available to the public at thousands of local pharmacies and community health centers nationwide starting late next week, according to a White House official, and will mark "the largest deployment of personal protective equipment in U.S. history."
