Although unemployment figures for Carson City won't be available until Friday, the capital city did add 200 jobs in September, the largest increase since June, adding to Nevada's overall improving job climate, state employment officials said Monday.

Statewide, the unemployment rate for September registered at a seasonally adjusted 9.3 percent, down from 9.5 percent in August. It is the lowest jobless rate since December 2008, according to a report released by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.

At least four vehicles were involved in hit and run crashes late Monday morning off of Retail Drive and College Parkway in Carson City. The suspect, driving a silver pickup, was detained.

A weather system will move through the Carson City region beginning Tuesday, bringing rain to the valleys and snow to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra above 7,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow amounts for the Sierra could be around a foot above 7,500 feet and 4 to 6 inches around 7,000 feet, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Wallmann.

The potential for snow accumulation will be greatest in the Lake Tahoe area above 7,000 feet with lower totals south in Alpine and Mono counties.
