Continuing coverage on the cyberattack that affected state services
We're continuing to track the fallout from the cyberattack that crippled state agencies across Nevada.
New this morning, DMV officials tell us that about 35,000 driver's license or ID card transactions were canceled due to the resulting network outage.
According to a spokesperson, the DMV will be accepting walk-ins for anyone whose appointment during the week of August 25 was canceled.
The DMV says all walk-ins will be honored during regular business hours for the next two weeks.

Looking ahead: Construction ramps up ahead of Las Vegas Grand Prix
Tonight, crews are set to start the brunt of the construction on Harmon Avenue from Las Vegas Boulevard to Koval Lane for the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix.
They're working on putting up track lighting and the Top Golf Vehicle Bridge, so you can expect some backups and lane closures.
Today through Friday, expect lane reductions overnight from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. with only one lane open in each direction between Las Vegas Boulevard and Koval Lane.
And those same restrictions will continue next week as work moves around the track path.

Afternoon breezes will gust to 25 mph the next three days, and 20 mph Thursday, before turning calm Friday and Saturday.
Highs in the mid 90s Tuesday will dip near 90° Wednesday and the upper 80s Thursday and Friday. Low-to-mid 90s are back this weekend and next week, which is close to average for mid-September.
Nighttime and early morning temperatures will be cooler, in the low-and-mid 70s, for much of this week. Upper 60s are expected Thursday night.
We are seeing a couple of surface street fender benders, but nothing that should majorly impact your drive, so you should be able to allow extra time for your morning commute.
