5 Things You Need to Know Today: July 31

Today is Tuesday, July 31 and here are the five things you need to know:

1. Be prepared for some wet weather today. The National Weather Service is predicting that local residents can expect a chance of showers and thunderstorms, otherwise it will be partly sunny, with a high near 75. Tonight should be mostly cloudy, with a low around 67. (sunrise, 5:35 a.m.; high tide, 10:13 a.m.; low tide, 4:08 p.m.; sunset, 8:04 p.m.)

2. It's the last day of July so you must have some photos of your pets so far, this summer.

3. Here's a deal worth dancing about - Living Social is offering six weeks of dance classes at Marblehead School of Ballet for $35.

4. Marblehead has been the hub for movie filming this summer but Danvers also got some time in the spotlight yesterday.

5. Today in History: On July 31, 1931, the experimental TV station W2XAB, now know as WCBS, first began broadcasting.
