This morning, Clerk-Treasurer Amy Burgans said her office staff scanned around 1,500 ballots on Monday and that she plans to release results that will be very close to the final count around 5 p.m. today. Another 2,000 votes could bring Douglas to a turnout of just over 72 percent.

Highway 50 was blocked for a time last night after a Nevada Department of Transportation front loader had to help clear heavy concrete structures near Cave Rock after a 3:45 p.m. collision. No one was hurt, but it sounded like a mess.

There’s a little bit of cloud cover this morning that kept the temperatures from hitting the floor, but the forecast calls for that to clear, with a high temperature climbing all the way to 39 degrees. The wind will pick up out of the west at 5 mph.
