A rescue at sea is always riveting, but the 2020 New Year's Eve Rescue gave me chicken skin all over. In full disclosure I have not ventured out to sea since our honeymoon when my wife did most of the fishing and I did most of the crabbing. Unless standing on shore, anchored in sand, I have no love for the sea. To me a sea cruise is being under house arrest, but with a chance of "drownding."

Heading into the weekend, there’s a bevy of activities around the Carson City region over the next three days. The Union will host a dining fundraiser for the Greenhouse Project on Friday, and artist Jakota Wass performs at Bella Vita Bistro. The 43rd annual Wild Sheep Show will be held at the Reno-Sparks Convention. Comedian Marc Yaffee headlines the Carson Comedy Club on Saturday with much more in store for the weekend! Read on for more information.

Open the bottom drawer of your dresser and you'll see exactly what to wear when New Wave Crave returns to Nevada's oldest thirst parlor, The Genoa Bar this Friday night from 7 to 11 p.m. Is it outrageous? Is it white or neon-colored? Does it "pop" under black lights?

Put it on and rock out to your fave hits from the 80's performed live. Songs by Cindy Lauper, The B-52's, Madonna, The Cure and onward! Round up your friends for this fun and free, 21+ event.

The Carson City School District and Board of Trustees are pleading for drivers in the Carson City area to take extra caution in school zones and around bus stops.

A series of storm systems will move into the Carson City and Lake Tahoe region beginning late Monday bringing strong, gusty winds, chances of rain and snow to the valley floors and feet of snow in the Sierra by Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

Heading into the holidays, the National Weather Service says we may see a slight chance of light snow sometime Christmas Day and below average temperatures for the rest of week, with additional weak storms possibly producing light snow accumulations and slick roads at times.

Unsettled weather is ahead for the Carson City region over the next few days beginning with a weak and warm storm moving into the area, which accounts for the gusty conditions Thursday morning. This will be followed by another system Friday into Saturday, bringing some valley rain that may turn to light snow showers later this weekend.

Somebody just discovered black lights and it's your fave retro band! Glow back in time to songs by Cindy Lauper! The B-52's! Madonna! Billy Idol and onward as the ultimate 80's band New Wave Crave returns to Max Casino with an all new neon look. Wear something fluorescent and fun to "pop" along with the band. Free Event, Ages 21-plus.

In this long life of mine, nothing looms larger in my memory than riding the perfect wave, well, almost nothing. I could have been a Nick Beck if I hadn't fallen off my board. I used to watch Nick and Joey Cabell surf Cannons off the north shore of Kauai, and wish I could surf like that.

After weeks of abundant sunshine and above-average fall temperatures, some change is ahead weather wise around the Carson City region, with a system expected to move into the region late Tuesday, bringing the potential for some valley rain showers and mountain snow, but not considered in any way a major winter storm, forecasters say.

It's been 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 where the party went on for months and years after.

Join New Wave Crave as they perform your fave 80's hits live including The B-52's! Madonna! Cindy Lauper! The Cure and onward!

Something tells us the German beer will flow like freedom! Free event. Ages 21+

As the last Nevada Day event on Saturday was winding down, the pleasantly warm weather the Carson City region has been experiencing for several days seems to have gone the way of the setting sun.

While sunshine remains in the fold Sunday and through much of the week, daytime high temperatures will be around 20 to 25 degrees cooler than what the region has, for days, been experiencing, according to the National Weather Service.

Happy Saturday, Carson City! We're going to have a warm day in the low 70s, so be sure to throw on your t-shirts which may be the last time this fall (barring the typical end of November inexplicable heat wave).

On the docket today we have the 30th annual Outhouse Races in Virginia City, a guitars and ukulele performance at the BAC, fundraisers, and more. Check out below to see what we've got going on for the rest of the weekend:

The Levitt AMP Carson City summer concert series concludes this Saturday, Aug. 24 with indie alt-rocker powerhouse The Brevet headlining and opening act New Wave Crave.

The slowburn trajectory of the Psychedelic Furs seems to have put the band in the precarious position of having both a cult-like status as well as mainstream success.

Reno hasn’t seen measurable precipitation since May. That is, until the Barracuda Championship began. Rain and lightning suspended round one on Thursday, and several violent deluges Friday afternoon further delayed and then suspended round two.

Tuesday evening made for spectacular photography as the sun was setting throughout western Nevada and Sierra. These photos of the wave of standing lenticular clouds were taken by Nicole Hooper in Dayton. The first three show the range of the cloud formations and the fourth photo was taken Wednesday morning, where Hooper notes "this morning was pretty too."

UPDATE 4:17PM: The National Weather Service in Reno, which had said snow levels were expected to fall to the valley floors, changed their forecast model late Monday afternoon, lessening the chances for any snow spillover to the valley floors. There's still a chance, but it is less than originally forecasted Monday morning.
***
The next round of storms moving into the region may actually be cold enough to bring snow showers down to the valley floors early Tuesday morning, including the Carson City and Reno areas, according to the National Weather Service.
