Most of the major new stories today are related to yesterday's terrorist attacks in London. On the local level you should expect to find beefed up security on Metro North as well as on all bridges leading into New York.
As a result of these extra security precautions trains may run late; and traffic into New York may be heavier than normal. Just a heads up.
Here's the latest.
