It will start to cloud up today as a storm moves into western Nevada. By tonight it will be mostly cloudy and the National Weather Service says there is a 70 percent chance it will be raining by Wednesday morning. That rain could turn to snow on Wednesday night as the cold air on the back of the front comes through. The chance of snow decreases on Thursday morning. Two things are for certain about this storm. It will be windy and it will be cold.

Monday was a crazy day for accidents with no fewer than four between noon and 5 p.m. The only injury accident occurred when a woman lost control of her SUV on Mottsville Lane and ended up rolling it into a field. She was ejected from the vehicle and helicoptered for medical attention. I'll post an update when I learn her condition.
