The R-C Morning Report

Genoans voted Tuesday to move forward with an agreement with the Carson Valley Arts Council to put on the second Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival. Some details in the agreement still need to be hashed out. The arts council meets Thursday. The final agreement is expected to be complete in August.

Minden will be discussing an interlocal agreement between the town and Douglas County to wholesale water tonight at its regular monthly meeting. Also before the board is a proposal to move forward with the Main Street Event car show. The Minden Town Board meets 5:30 p.m. in the CVIC Hall.

Genoa got pea-sized hail and a pretty good soaking from a thunderstorm on Tuesday evening. I was sitting in the town board meeting and it hit a couple of times. I have no idea how much rain fell, but when it came down it was in big drops.

Douglas firefighters responded to a report of smoke behind Indian Hills at 6:43 p.m. Tuesday, but came up empty. There was a report of a wildfire near Burnside Road and Picket's Junction in Alpine County at 5:48 p.m. It didn't turn out to be much either.

Expect more of the same today with showers and isolated thunderstorms after 1 p.m. Skies should be partly cloudy today with a high near 90. The chance of precipitation is 20 percent. The fire weather watch has been lifted.
