It's Wednesday, time to shift from pleasant memories of last weekend to plans for the one coming up. And the National Day calendar says it's actually the INTER-National Day for Tolerance. So bear with me...

1. 5 Things' teammate Stephanie Sigafoos said yesterday we could see snow, and we did see a little, but temps come up a little today so the National Weather Service at Mt. Holly, NJ, says we'll see only rain and then the sun will come out. High temp should be around 49 degrees. Cold tomorrow night with a low of 31 degrees.

2. The Lehigh Valley is expected to be home to about 100,000 more people in 2050 than live here now. That's going to mean some challenges and changes.

3. Take a listen to students writing songs about climate change.

4. Attorney General Josh Shapiro will become Pennsylvania's governor in January due to a distinct mandate from voters.

5. Coming up: Reporter Julian Abraham writes about a new program in Allentown that teaches kids how to handle and plan money matters.
