Good Morning, Las Vegas, and Happy Monday.
Health officials are sounding the alarm as flu cases are surging across the valley as well as the country. We spoke to an ER doctor to get an understanding of what he's seeing every day.
Plus, cases we have been following head to court today, from the start of the trial for a "Dances with Wolves" actor and sentencing for a Valley High coach.
But first, we are waking up to chilly temperatures this morning, though not the below-freezing we had over the weekend.
We do see some breezes as we head out this morning, so you might want to grab a jacket. However, the good news is we have a sunny day ahead to make way for a sunny week.
Justin Bruce has a look at how warm we are expected to get this week:

Ahead today in court: Trial for "Dances with Wolves" actor begins, Valley High coach faces sentencing
The sexual assault trial of "Dances with Wolves" actor Nathan Chasing Horse is set to begin today.
Prosecutors say the 49-year-old posed as a medicine man and ran a cult called The Circle.
He faces 21 counts, including sexual assault of a minor and child pornography charges.
The indictment lists three alleged victims. Authorities say Chasing Horse used Native American culture and ceremonies to build trust with victims.
The trial is expected to last three to four weeks.
This is a story we've been following for years, and here's some of our previous coverage of the twists and turns this case has taken to lead up to today:
Also today, a former Valley High School football coach is set to be sentenced for child sex crimes.
46-year-old Antwone Washington pleaded guilty in December to using a minor to produce child sex abuse material.
He pleaded guilty to lewdness with a child under 16.
Police arrested Washington after they found videos of him sexually abusing a student.
He faces 8 to 25 years in the Nevada Department of Corrections.
