super bowl. good job, fans. keep it classy, big d. >> there you go. >> looks pretty decent. for those interested in law enforcement, it definitely was a weekend to remember. still ahead, the turn-out at the weekend's run with a recruiter event. >> the forecast with kim study

we'll be right back. not losing as much percentagewise of that snow pack as we have in the past. but still seeing some melting out there, still seeing variable amount temperatures, sun, and that's going be the trend on much of the 7-day forecast. a very quiet 7-day. 57 the high. keep in mind -- like 49, 50 degrees. this is well above average for this time of year, and warmer temperatures to come on that 7-day. 52 carson, 55 south lake. that inversion is setting up. warmer temperatures at the lake than in carson city. that's a very strong inversion. we should start to see the buildup of some of that smog and haze in some of the valley locations. air quality becomes a concern. we'll take a look at that air quality momentarily here. 21 degrees in truckie, 28 in veteranly. at 23 this morning in smith valley, and 26 in

relatively seasonably cool temperatures. later this afternoon, unseasonably warm. hardly anything going on on satellite and radar. a dry picture on the 7-day, a quiet picture. wind at higher elevations. gusts could be as high as 05 miles per hour. most of us are looking at light winds in the valleys, and high pressure in the wintertime, that's an inversion setup. that means we're watching the air quality, moderate air quality in a green burn code. no restrictions on burning. the 7-day forecast, very quiet and warm. we ole see how warm and when coming up. see how your monday morning commute is doing so far. trooper down can dog. good morning to you. >> good morning, everybody out there. as bill mentioned earlier, we had the road opened back up on the northbound side between belleview and bowers thanks to that fatal pedestrian crash. happened a little after one. we opened that up around 5:55 this morning. other than that there are no closures or incidents that will slow you down this morning.

traffic crashes on today's highways? following too close. make the effort to leave 3 to 5 secs between you and that vehicle in front of you. now, i know this may be hard to do, especially in heavy traffic, but it is your responsibility to ensure you have that safety zone in front of your car -- you'll have it if you do keep those seat belts on. be safe, and take care, guys. back to you. >> thank you for that update there, especially on those lanes on northbound i- 580. a taste of what it takes to be a police officer this weekend. the reno police department hosted a run with a recruiter event at reno high school track. it happened on saturday. more than a dozen people showed up to work out alongside officers and ask questions about pursuing a career in law enforcement. they can also gauge how physically ready they'd be before entering the police academy. the reno police department will be accepting applications starting the 5th, i should say,

. those dates don't make sense.

we'll be right back. . $118 million in wedgers. that chunk in change -- by all the illegal bets this weekend.

on the way heads up for that as well. hopefully a return of winter forecast. we'll have to see. but for now things are looking quiet. 28 in town with clear skies. single digits, ilio and elko 20s. at the moment. high pressure in place. hardly anything on satellite nothing but sun. maybe a couple clouds here and there. but yes, that haze or smog building in a few valley locations for today. the air quality moderate. green burn code. nothing too much to worry about yet two that. of course we'll keep you updated if that changes. upper 40s to low 0s for much of the area for the day today, even into the upper 50s for places like r,no sparks at 57 for the high, 53 in mogul. nearby nevada, not quite as warm, but still above average this time of year. 34 in elko, 35 in eureka for your high. light winds for most of us. the exception to the light winds would be the high

of the -- we could be as high as 55 miles per hour gusts. light winds for the rest of us, including the valley throwingst. that's something we'll keep an eye on next few days. moderate air quality, green burn code, you can get an update on those by heading to our web site. . the rest of us are looking dry for the entire 7-day. over to you. the reno police department will be accepting applications through march 27th. >> all right. we'll hold you to that. -- >> following a knock-down, drag- out debate, candidates continued hitting each other the next day. reed binion has the story.
