KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas, and Happy Hump Day.
We have less than three weeks of the school year left for students in the Clark County School District, meaning some kids will soon be without some of the only guaranteed meals they get. But one local nonprofit is asking for help to make sure that doesn't happen.
We also have a look ahead at some things happening today in North Las Vegas.
But first, it's looking like we are going to have quite a warm-up in store for Mother's Day. Justin Bruce has the forecast:
In our community: Fundraiser to help local hungry children
More than 100,000 children in the valley are waking up hungry with no idea where their next meal will come from.

Continuing coverage: Suspect in fatal North Las Vegas crash set to appear in court
A North Las Vegas man is expected in court this morning after a deadly crash. Police say Triquan Huges was weaving through traffic and ran a red light near Craig and Simmons on Saturday.
His SUV hit another car before crashing into two teenagers on a sidewalk. A 17-year-old girl died and a nineteen-year-old was critically injured.

Ahead today: North Las Vegas considering new regulations on e-bikes and e-scooters

They'd also require minors to wear helmets, impose fines for reckless riding like stunts and wheelies and could hold parents liable for their kids' violations.
The North Las Vegas ordinance will just be introduced into the public record today at city council. It's set to be voted on May 20.
As of less than two months ago, the newest data showed a 400% increase in e-bike and e-scooter injuries across Southern Nevada. We broke down the data and details what officials are doing to make our streets safer:
