It is Tuesday, Nov. 26. Here are five things you need to know in Hamilton and Wenham:

1. Warmer: It will be warmer on Tuesday, with the temperature forecasted to get into the low 40s. The sky will be cloudy and there’s a chance of an evening shower.

2. Unemployment: Up to date unemployment statistics will be released on Tuesday by the state Bureau of Labor Statistics that will show the latest numbers for those out of work community-by-community, including in Hamilton and Wenham.

4. Storm:  Anyone who is planning to travel to Thanksgiving dinner is likely keeping their eyes on the weather forecast on Tuesday. The storm is expected to be mostly rain here on the North Shore, but the heavy rain and strong, gusty winds will be enough to cause slow travel on the roads.
