The closest Monday's weather came to us was a hail storm in Yerington at about 5:14 p.m. A weather spotter sighted a tornado on the ground about five miles north of Fallon and the area around Lake Lahontan got pummelled by hail and heavy rain. Today will be a far cry from Monday with a high of 90 degrees under sunny skies.
