The lower valleys are expected to see 0.75 to 1 inch of spillover rainfall, including the Carson City area, according to NSW forecasters in the latest weather discussion, which are updated twice daily.

Motorists traveling over the mountain passes for the Presidents Day weekend can expect slick roads and slower travel across the Sierra due to winter conditions and holiday traffic.

At the time of this writing, the weather service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the greater Lake Tahoe area and Sierra from Sunday evening until Wednesday morning.

Travelers should call 511 or see NVroads.com for the latest road conditions.

The Sunday storm is expected to bring widespread rain and high-elevation snow to the region. The valleys are expected to see rain showers and little to no snow accumulation, according to forecasters.

The forecastors are expecting that snow levels Sunday night through early Monday morning will hover around 7000 to 8000 feet. The snow levels are expected to drop late Monday morning through the remainder of the day to around 5500 to 6000 feet in the greater Lake Tahoe area. Lower elevations may see a bit of snow, but not much is expected.

Wind advisories have been issued for Mineral County and Pyramid Lake and the expected strongest winds will occur late Monday morning into the evening. Gusts along the ridges in the Sierra will be upwards of 70 to 100 mph and the western Nevada areas will see gusts between 35-50 mph, with stronger gusts upwards of 50-60 mph in wind prone areas, especially into Mineral County and Walker Lake.

Regardless, heavy snow on the Sierra passes (Donner Summit, Echo Summit and Carson Pass) will impact travel during busy holiday traffic, so be sure to travel carefully in the mountains this weekend. Longer commute times and possible travel delays are expected, according to NSW.

Expected snow accumulations range from 4 to 10 inches at lake level with 2 to 4 feet above 7000 feet.

Tuesday Onward:

Additional accumulations of 1 to 2 feet will be possible along the Sierra crest, 3 to 6 inches down to Lake Tahoe Level, and 5 to 10 inches for communities along US-395 above 7000 feet, acccording to forecasters.

From Thursday into next weekend, the area will return to calmer weather with average temperatures and drier weather.

Lexicon Bank honors CARE Complex for aiding Southern Nevada families in need


A Southern Nevada nonprofit that provides meals, hygiene resources, and housing assistance is getting a boost of visibility from a local bank’s community recognition program.

Lexicon Bank recognized CARE Complex through its Community Spotlight Program during June, highlighting the organization’s work serving individuals and families experiencing economic hardship throughout Southern Nevada.

CARE Complex is located in Las Vegas’ Corridor of Hope and operates as a centralized hub of essential services. The nonprofit provides meals, hygiene resources, mail, and locker services, along with on-site support aimed at meeting immediate needs with dignity and consistency.

Founded by Michael Swecker, CARE Complex connects vulnerable individuals with services intended to address both urgent needs and long-term success.

The organization’s key programs include Community Table, which provides meals and monthly pre-packed grocery bags; Homeless to Home (H2H), which offers financial assistance for qualifying individuals and families facing eviction or housing instability; and Step Into Success, which supports participants as they work toward self-sufficiency and long-term stability.

The recognition follows Lexicon Bancorp’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, held in May, which celebrated “A Year of Philanthropy” and highlighted the bank’s commitment to supporting local nonprofits and strengthening the communities it serves.

Lexicon Bank’s monthly Community Spotlight Program features organizations working across Southern Nevada and encourages community members to learn more, volunteer, and support their missions.

Nevada QB Thaddeus Thatcher commits to Oregon State, breaks down his decision


Las Vegas (Nev.) Arbor View quarterback Thaddeus Thatcher announced his commitment to Oregon State and broke down why he chose the Beavers. 

After taking official visits to Oregon State, UNLV, UCF and Michigan, the talented signal caller announced for the Beavers moments ago. 

“I’m very excited about my decision,” Thatcher said. “Coach Shep (Jamarcus Shephard) has assembled a really great staff and I’m really excited to work with coach (Mitch) Dahlen.

“Coach Dahlen has worked with so many draft picks and it’s really exciting to have the opportunity to be developed by someone like him.”

The potential to compete for early playing time was another big factor for Thatcher. 

“They’re going to give me a chance to compete for a spot right away,” Thatcher said. “That’s something I was interested in and so I’m excited about the opportunity.

“My whole family gets along with the entire Oregon State staff and we really believe in Coach Shep. I really think he’s going to be able to get things back on track and I’m excited to be a part of that.”

We originally had a commit prediction in for Michigan with Thatcher and there was strong buzz he was close to committing following his unofficial visit back in early April. 

Thatcher decided to take his official visits instead and the Beavers hosted him on May 29. Oregon State started to build momentum with Thatcher following the trip and the Beavs were able to hold off strong competition.

Thatcher is one of the region’s top dual-threat quarterbacks and two-sport athletes. He’s a talented basketball player as well but his fixture is on the grid-iron. 

As a junior, Thatcher completed 168-240 passes (70%) for 2,625 yard and 29 touchdowns with just five interceptions. He also rushed for 605 yards and seven more scores and will be a four-year starter for the Aggies, one of the top teams in the state.
