1. It's back to school time... at least for Little Compton high schoolers who venture across the bridge to Portsmouth for class. The rest of Tiverton and Little Compton start on Thursday.

2. Labor Day weekend is approaching. It's the perfect time to clear out the clutter and host an end-of-summer yard sale. If you're planing one or know someone who is, let the community know to. Fill out our yard sale form and Patch will post your sale for free.

3. Pink Parade: Rhode Island Pink Heals brings its bright pink rescue vehicles to nearby Bristol on Aug. 30 for a parade at 1 p.m. and display at the Bristol Fire Department until 4 p.m. See the video for a look back at their visit to Johnston last year. Find: RI Pink Heals Calendar

4. In case you missed it... Sewer Stink Sends Tiverton Firefighters Packing

5. Today's forecast. It'll be a rainy, stormy start to the day Tuesday, and the showers should continue through the morning. The rain will taper off after noon, leaving cloudy skies behind with temps in the mid- to high-70s.
