"Five Things you Need to Know Today" is a Patch column that provides readers with essential, daily information at a glance.

1. Fall has officially arrived, and the week kicks off with a perfect autumn day. According to Weather.com, temperatures will settle in at a comfortable 67^° on Monday. There is a zero percent chance of rain on the day and skies will be mainly sunny throughout.
