Happy Tuesday, Reno! Here's everything you need to know to get this day started. These are the most important things happening today in town.

First, today's weather:

Low clouds and cold. High: 50 Low: 41.

Here are the top stories in Reno today:

  1. When the Orvis School of Nursing students were no longer allowed in labor and delivery rooms because of safety precautions related to COVID-19, the school had to get creative on how to continue to provide students with crucial labor and delivery education. Fortunately, the Orvis is able to offer up to 50% of the curriculum through simulations so they were able to purchase a maternal childbirth simulator through generous outside donations. (Nevada Today)
  2. A semi-truck that caught fire and dangled from a bridge snarled traffic on I-80 west of Reno Sunday afternoon. Police said luckily no one was hurt and the fire was quickly extinguished. (KRNV My News 4)
  3. The airline aha!, powered by veteran ExpressJet Airlines, today inaugurated nonstop service to Pasco/Tri-Cities, Wash. This is the first of eight nonstop aha! flights to smaller western U.S. cities from aha!'s hub and home base at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. (KOLO)
