5 Things You Need to Know Today: Nov. 28

Here are the five things you need to know before you start your day in Salem.

 

Today is Wednesday, Nov. 28, and here are the five things you need to know:

1. The National Weather Service is predicting that local residents can expect a slight chance of rain between noon and 4 p.m. Otherwise, it will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 40. Tonight should be mostly cloudy, with a low around 27. (sunrise, 6:50 a.m.; high tide, 10:50 a.m.; sunset, 4:12 p.m.; low tide, 5:00 p.m.)

    2. The Salem Design Review Board will meet tonight at City Hall. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Click Here to take a look at the posted agenda.

    3. A man arrested Monday afternoon in connection with a recent armed robbery at Town Variety in Peabody may help Salem detectives nail down who robbed a 7-Eleven in Salem last week. Click Here for the details.

    4. We’re launching our annual Deck the House Contest to find the most over-the-top holiday decorations in America—the best “decked” house in the country. If this sounds like your house, upload a photo or video of your home to our contest page from Nov. 26 to Dec. 16.

    5. Today in History: On Nov. 28, 1941, a fire in the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston killed 491 people.
