Everybody's anticipating this winter-like snowstorm that's supposed to hit between now and Wednesday. We are experiencing some moisture this morning which is good news. However, no snow accumulation at this time. According to the National Weather Service, between 2 and 6 inches of snow accumulation is expected in Nebraska and Kimball County and in Laramie County in Wyoming. Plan on slushy and slick road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the commutes on Tuesday morning and evening, so make travel plans accordingly.

The wintery weather has caused some cancellations. One coming out of Baird, they announced that due to the forecast, the junior high track meet has been moved. Baird will be unable to attend moral this year, but will attend the middle school meet in Scott's Bluff hosted by Gering on Thursday, May 7. No track meet today.

And we have some road closures to tell you about over in Wyoming. I-80 is closed in both directions between Cheyenne and Laramie. Closure began around 2.05 am and an estimated opening time is unknown.

Last evening, scanner traffic indicated a rollover with multiple patients. An airlink was asked to go on standby. Highway 385. Further traffic indicated all patients were out of the vehicle and had only minor injuries. Airlink was then cancelled. We heard one trooper say that he has one female 1015 or in custody. With no other traffic between calls, this may pertain to this incident or it may not. Remember, it's scanner traffic and nothing is final until the investigation is complete. In any case, please pray for everyone involved and we are thankful for the medical services that we have available to us in the Panhandle and beyond.

On Friday night, scanner traffic indicated a horrific car crash that required Airlink. The location was Lusk, Wyoming and the report was a T-bone accident with a semi. Our prayers and condolences go to the families of the three souls that were lost in the accident. Our prayers for the one woman who did survive and was transported to regional West Medical Center.

Well, the U.S. National Weather Service says that a cold front will arrive today and winter-like weather may make a comeback. Snow is expected Monday afternoon and evening and will mix to rain into Tuesday. Accumulating snow is possible for portions of the area, with rumors of a couple of inches of accumulation in some places.

Saturday was an exciting day at the Aalic Trek stop for the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration. Event organizers and others reported a great turnout and lots of fun. There was an outstanding car show, 70 plus vendors, food trucks, a kids' zone and live music all day. Hope you enjoyed it. That was the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Lots of different scanner traffic incidents over the weekend including traffic stops, traffic complaints and unfortunately, on a national level, a mass shooting last night in Edmond, Oklahoma. Scanner traffic indicated that a party was reportedly taking place at Lake Arcadia with preliminary reports of at least 10 victims. The victims are reportedly juveniles and teenagers, both male and female. Our thoughts and prayers remain for all of those involved.

It's time for Scanner News, and I'm your host, Brian Hale, brought to you by RNC Welding in Gering, Nebraska.

Another swatting incident took place in the Panhandle yesterday. This one, Gering High School was the target.

A series of this type of calls is happening nationwide, with selected Walmarts being targeted recently, and now schools. On Thursday the 30th, at approximately 12:32 PM, the Scotts Bluff County Communications Center received a call on a non-emergent phone line indicating there was a threat at Gering High School. Officers from the Gering Police Department and deputies from the Scotts Bluff County Sheriff's Office responded.

School officials placed the building on lockdown out of abundance of caution. Law enforcement entered the building and were able to clear it without incident. The investigation revealed that this incident was a swatting call, and there was no threat to any students, staff, or visitors at the school.

Swatting incidents are intended to elicit a large emergency response and disrupt the functions of the targeted location. If you have any information related to this incident, we ask that you contact the Gearing Police Department.

Very busy night over scanner traffic.

Early this morning, there was a two vehicle accident with injuries, as well as several traffic complaints and fire calls. There was even a call for a vehicle versus pedestrian accident near East 27th Street and First Avenue near Pioneer Park in Scottsbluff. Scanner traffic indicated a 14-year-old female was hit by a car. We continue to ask people to please respect speed limits and school zones and the safety of our children. Please use an abundance of caution in school zones.

With all of the recent power outages, we installed a new tab on our website listing all of the local power companies and their outage maps. Look for it today under resources. That's panhandlescanner.com.

That's going to do it for today's scanner news. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
