KTNV — We already saw some overnight thunderstorms and looking ahead, we have a chance of scattered showers in the valley.
Plus, we're breaking down the update Gov. Joe Lombardo gave on the statewide network outage and when we can expect services to fully return.
Chance of scattered showers and storms on Friday.
Gusty winds and heavy downpours will be the main concerns with the storms if they develop.
Slight chance of storms lingers into Saturday. Drier air moves in by Sunday and we'll be dry and less humid as well.
Gov. Lombardo says Nevada financial data not compromised in cyberattack
Gov. Joe Lombardo said Nevada is making steady progress recovering from last month's cyberattack.
He praised Nevada's IT teams and federal partners for working around the clock, including through Labor Day weekend, to restore services faster than expected.
A lot of you at home have asked us questions about the DMV. Lomardo said in-person services are back for registrations and title transfers and in-person driver's licenses can be issued again.
He also says the state is committed to transparency during the recovery, but warned there are limits to what can safely be shared.
Looking ahead, the governor said the state may revisit legislation to create a centralized cybersecurity operations center in the next legislative session, aimed at better protecting state agencies, local governments and schools from future attacks.
