Good morning, Reno.

Today, the Reno Rodeo plans a kickoff concert to celebrate its 107th year and the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for thunderstorms and gusty winds until 10 PM — organizers advise caution and follow fire safety guidelines.

The Food Bank of Northern Nevada launched its Kid’s Cafe Summer Program Monday at Gepford Park, serving free lunches to kids 2 to 18 throughout the summer with meals of a sandwich, an orange, carrots, and milk (in partnership with Nevada's Department of Agriculture and Washoe County School District).

A fast-moving Sparks brush fire near Vista Boulevard and Altos Parkway caused temporary outages for nearly 70,000 customers across Washoe County on Tuesday night (NV Energy said power was shut off to maintain grid stability) and service was fully restored by early Wednesday with no injuries or lost structures.

Reno Rodeo marked its 107th year with a kickoff concert headlined by Dylan Scott, drawing local fans to enjoy music, food, and rides — organizers advise safe parking and community fun throughout the 10-day event.

After a year of construction, the Mill Street Capacity and Safety Project is finished; it began in 2013 and cost $31 million from the county fuel tax.

Northern Nevada HOPES is expanding its services by offering same-day, walk-in behavioral health screenings for adults at its Fifth Street location, adding to the care available at its 4th Street clinic.
