that. things will deteriorate but head into the weekend we have snow showers in the forecast later today into the afternoon hours especially north of i-80 also into the sierra 1 to 3 inches of snow possible that's enough to make for travel concerns out there but not a large amount of snow. we'll continue to keep an eye on that, especially north of i- 80 in the sierra south of i-80 south of the sierra. accumulation is less likely as this storm brushes us off to the north. 41 in town for the high later today that chance for snow showers is out there especially into the late morning and afternoon hours as well as into the evening highs in the 40s for most of us in the lower elevations, partly cloudy skies as clouds increase with our approaching system here and the temperatures across the area single digits teens and 20s for most of us, 1 below zero in smith valley. much colder as you head to eastern nevada as well as the wind chills over that eastern side of the state. we'll talk about that as well as break down the timing on this incoming system for later today on future cast for now let's send it back to you. a woman has been crash and sparks last night officials say 38-year-old katrina was driving her truck under the i-80 bridge when it hit and went on to the side. alcohol may have been a factor but no arrests at this time. and behind bars today carson deputies

of a crash. we have more information about a deadly crash that happened on 390 southbound and nhp confirmed john abraham was slammed into light poll. after the investigation law enforcement sid that abraham lost control of his car, causing it to cross all lanes of traffic into a light poll and down an enbankment. they say road conditions were dry. abraham was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after the crash. well a new phone scam is hitting northern nevada this time scammers are posing a sheriff's office officials and asking for money. authorities say the scammers are able to manipulate technology so the caller id says the sheriff's office number locally and tells the person there is a warrant out for their arrest and you must surrender themselves. they are asking to call 328- 3001. officials at the washoe county sheriff's office say they will sometimes call someone to inform them but never ask for a payment over the phone. a former mortgage broker will spend 5 years in prison forembezzlement. multiple investigators will likely say the money never again. marcilin anne benvin was indicted for involvement in a mortgage fraud scheme that took place from 2004 and 2008 and had investments that detailed in 23011 2011 for money laundering and embezzlement yesterday she was sentenced and theft from an employee benefit plan. we tried to speak to benvin as she left the building but didn't stop for our cameras in addition to the 5 years benvin is also ordered to pay $230,000 in restitution and complete 150 hours of community service. the victims were not willing to talk on camera after the sentencing but disappointing in the outcome of this case. the original charges against benvin would have put her behind bars for up to 20 years if she had been convicted for more than the 40 counts against her. to learn more about the case and charges head to our website at foxreno.com. nevada governor is standing firm some asking why he does not get involved following a

year a pound of coffee cost $1.65 now $1.11. that's a 33% drop and expected to get cheaper. officials expect coffee farmers to have a big harvest creating an over supply of beans which means more of a drop in prices. but don't expect to save any money when you buy that high end cup of joe. coffee beans only make up 20% of its over all cost other factors influencing the price you pay how much employees you make, take home is going up, especially with more places across the country increasing the minimum wage and starbucks is paying tuition for 4,000 employees. but you can trim your coffee budget without cutting the buzz, the most obvious? brew it home, whole beans tend to be cheaper than pre-ground coffee and an inexpensive grinder can pay for itself. and buy for savings look for gift cards and sites you can buy at a discount, and those can come with perks like a free refill every couple of weeks or so. many places offer a small discount if you have your own gear who knews saving a little cash may make that cup of coffee that much better. for consumer watch. i'm mary maloni. and 2,000 complementary snacks cookies and pretzels you'll see them later this month. american airlines

at your forecast. we have scattered snow showers in the forecast, most of the activity will be north of i-80 in the sierra, we could see 1 to 3 inches north of i-80 in the sierra as this system brushes us to the north we'll show you that on future cast in just a moment here. south of i-80 outside of the sierra little to no accumulation however we should still see a little bit of isolated snow shower active in those zones as well. 22 degrees in town with 5 miles per hour winds and partly to mostly cloudy skies right now a chilly start in western nevada teens and 20s but really the big story is the eastern side of the state 15 below zero, that's the 2 below in elco. 5 below. so miles per hour winds we're at 41 below zero for the wind chills right now in the eastern part of the state in eely a dangerously cold wind chills. make sure you are covering exposed skin don't spend too much time-out doors where the wind chill is that low. and 14 below, 5 below pretty close to the actual air temperature because there is less wind there than the eastern side of the state same goes for western nevada. if you have no wind than the wind chill is equal to the air temperature. we have the wind chill advisory, eureka county as well as white pine county and that wind chill advisory goes until 9 a.m. for those dangerously cold wind chills. the other thing we're watching is that system that i've been talking about that is going to graze us off to the north, still off the coast of california but by this afternoon, it will just kind of graze us to the north that means northern zones better chance for some accumulation of snow 1 to 3 inches north of i- 80 southern zones from about reno sparks less of an impact from snow showers that come through. perhaps a few impacts in the sierra as a result of that incoming system. as we head through today, there is the snow shower chance heading into thursday and beyond we're going to dry things up. mostly cloudy skies, partly cloudy into the weekend mostly sunny into next week temperatures reaching the low 50s in some of the lower elevations by your saturday and climbing into the mid-and upper 50s by next week over to you. all right let's take a look what's trending this morning the sacramento kings canceled a t-shirt give away monday night after some of the organization including star demarcus cousins found the shirt to be racially insensitive. the kings gave out black t- shirts with a purple monkey as part of their lunar new year's celebration. purple of course is the team color, and the chinese new year is this year of the monkey begins february 8th. monday also marks the first day of black history month. players and coaches were wearing the shirts in honor of the annual commemoration got three things going on here once some people are saying should not have been put out there in fact the team pulled all of those shirts. we ask google plussers what you think about it? we're talking about the king colors, the year of the monkey which is a new year of lunar new year, also black history month. all three same time, what do you think about it? starting off first with glen, your thoughts racially insensitive or not so much. >> we have a real problem here. you can't put the monkey on there, that will offend some people. can't put a giraffe people with long necks will be offended you can't put a cricket on here, people with hiccups will be offended. last night i was at a chinese restaurant and they had that little paper thing there with all of the different chinese symbols, and i'm year of the dragon, every single one of those symbols is offensive to somebody so the next thing we need to do is turn to china and say, they need to change their whole astro logical system because they are offending the world. i think we all need to shut up and sit in our cellars in the dark. i'm the year of the rat by the way just to let you know. what do you think about this? do you see an issue with it? if they are trying to get a few different things to put together as to one, was that a good idea or no keep everything separate? well i'm not sure if they are putting everything together like black history month for the mob key for the black history month, i don't think. for chinese new year, like you said, you have monkeys coming out it is a cute monkey on that shirt and i don't think they used that monkey for black history month it is just lunar new year have some. i think people shouldn't be feeling offended. they have to look behind what those symbols for the monkeys has nothing to do with black history month and join in with the chinese monkey is cute, be cool with it. some of the, maybe some in the chinese culture say why can't we celebrate our new year as well? love to

something you'll want to be prepared before you head out don't spend too much time out low and 13 below in elco. 16 below, not much of a wind chill in western nevada because we don't have any wind to speak of on the western side of the state. our weather alerts are relate today that wind chill, there is a wind chill advisory in southern eureka, that goes until 9 a.m. for wind chills 25 to 35 below and 40 below zero in a couple spots. heads up for that wind chill. the other thing is this system off the northern coast of california that will continue to swing through today it grazes us off to the north that means most of the snow showers chances are north of reno sparks i-80 in northern zones as well as the sierra. 1 to 3 inches possible. as much as snow shower activity is concerned south of i-80 and outside of the sierra those snow showers will transfer tonight into the eastern side of the state and over night hours seven day forecast, snow shower chances today in the northern zones as well as the sierra smaller chances in the southern zone heading into thursday and beyond things are dryer mostly cloudy to partly cloudy and mostly sunny skies into the beginning of next week

students as young as sixth grade. the san francisco school district sid it worked at the high school level where the program has been in place for some 25 years. the school district said that a recent survey revealed 5% of middle school students say yes they have had sex the director of a youth center and clinic says the average client for them is 14 years old. ask your google plussers what do you think about it? do you think it is a good idea, bad idea we had some sound earlier who are saying listen the truth of the matter is this age group is sexually active but then there are parents who are saying that is my decision whether or not to say you know here have condoms if you need them. what doing about it? starting off, do you think it is a good idea or bad idea? >> i think it is a good idea at the end of the day like we don't really want 14 years old even 13 years old whatever age if you have kids that they cannot handle themselves, they are kids having kids so i think having the ability of condoms has proven by high school students or how students are being treated for years i think it is a good idea go for it. there are some unfortunately some parents who have that relationship with their kids where they can talk about it and others who don't for whatever the reason may be. maybe this is the group they are going towards, the kids that feel like they can't ask their parents and yet still there is that pressure or that decision to have sex and so they do. glen what do you think about the idea? is it the right of the school to offer it up or should it be left up purely to the parents? >> first of all they tried giving condoms to fifth graders and they made balloon animals so we'll start from sixth grade. the parents should be the ones to try to decide ultimately because it is their kids against government even schools saying we're going to do this if your kids and you don't get a say in the matter so the parents object, go to your school board meeting and have a little talk with them and i mean all the parents at the school board meeting that would be the best way to solve this. by the way a lot of kids in those surveys who is having sex at one age, they exaggerate because they want to sound cool so they say that they are sexually active even though they are not. >> let's hope right? we'd love to hear what you have to say post your comments on our facebook and google plus page. the zoo has a new baby the welcome into the family how they are getting ideas for the to come after the break. welcome back everyone, leaving you on a
