Around here, a heat wave is typically defined by three days of temperatures above 90 degrees. (But would you call that a winning streak?)

1.    The School Committee will meet this morning at 8:30. Here's the agenda. 2.    We are certainly in the thick of summer. The National Weather Service is calling a high of 90 degrees tomorrow and nothing but sunshine. 3.    Just a little f.y.i. with your Wednesday morning coffee: The Cottage restaurant recently opened a sister location in Chestnut Hill. 4.    Our Question of the Day yesterday dealt with the future of the Rockland Street Bridge and roads in Wellesley.

It's starting to feel a bit like summer.

1.    After a sweltering July 4th weekend, which gave us temperatures near 90 degrees, it feels like summer has truly arrived. 2.    Let’s hope it sticks around for a while. The National Weather Service says it will, at least for today. Temperatures will top out at 88 degrees. 3.    The brand new Cedar Street Bridge is in place. Though construction in the area was expected to be complete by 10 p.m. yesterday, the bridge was in place and the detours were lifted by noon. 4.    The Board of Selectmen will not meet tonight. The board will meet again July 18. 5.    You’ve seen our Questions of the Day; Wellesley Patch would like you do more than just answer them.

5 Things You Need to Know Today: June 28

Early morning fog, all day sun.

1.    The Board of Selectmen met last night to round up much business at the end of the fiscal year. (Stories to follow this week.) 2.    They will not meet again until July 18, and likely again in August following that meeting. 3.    Yesterday felt like the true first day of summer. Maybe it had to do with the fact that school is out, it’s only baseball the rest of the way, and the weather was picture perfect…. 4.     Today, the National Weather Service calls for a partly sunny day with a high of 83 degrees. 5.    Though the public meeting schedule is dwindling as summer sets in, the Historical Commission will meet tonight briefly beginning at 7 o’clock.
