Welcome to “5 Things,” your daily resource for community events, happenings in town and other little tidbits of information. Here are five things you need to know on Monday, Aug. 13.

1. Hot: Monday is looking to be a classic summer day – sunny and hot with temperatures getting well into the 80s. Plus, the humidity is supposed to subside.

2. Road Work: Work is scheduled to begin Monday on a series of town streets that will be repaved. The work will occur on Burley Avenue and East, Fellow, Richards, Weston and Winthrop streets and Winthrop Street Extension. No on-street parking will be allowed from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. but the roads are planned to be open while the work is occurring.
