We have had a couple of periods of heavy rain in the Las Vegas Valley and it looks like rain has changed to light snow at the Lee Canyon Ski area. Temperature here has dropped to 61 deg.
The Pacific storm system has brought rain to the Las Vegas Valley and moderate rain is falling as of 10:30 PST. We had a little rain in the very early morning hours yesterday as well, but today should be more significant. Temperatures are in the mid 60s and currently is 65 at my location in western Spring Valley/South Summerlin area. Checking the…Read More
We have had some beautiful fall weather in the Las Vegas Valley with high temps in the mid to upper 70s to low 80s and low temps in the upper 50s. I will say this though, I won’t miss the cold and snow folks will soon get in the Northeast. My body does not like the cold weather anymore.
Early this morning we had scattered thundershowers move through Southern NV, though since it was quite elevated, very little rainfall reached the ground. By mid-morning, the sun broke through again and now as of 14:20 PDT it is clear and 77 deg.
Happy birthday Henry! I just had my 72nd birthday this past Sunday, Oct. 12. Have a good one!
All of us October kids! I turned 72 the 6 th!
After the passage of the cold front from the Pacific storm, we are experiencing some cool fall weather in the Las Vegas Valley. Last night, I had a low temp of 50 deg, and it is expected to only reach 68 deg for a high today. We should see a gradual warm up and by the weekend high temps could be approaching 80 deg, but sill quite cool at night.…Read More
Gosh, how I miss those October/November afternoons where we could sit in the backyard and enjoy a Vegas fall!
We had more thundershowers across the Las Vegas Valley last night with some impressive in cloud lightning. This morning it is mostly sunny as most of the moisture has moved east into Arizona. Only widely scattered storms are expected today.
We are getting scattered showers and thundershowers in the Las Vegas Valley this afternoon from the tropical moisture flowing in. We are on the western edge of this plume, but it is enough with the instability to set off some showers. There has not been much to report from here until today other than that we have transitioned into our fall season…Read More
This morning we had a taste of all in the Las Vegas Valley as it was in the upper 60s early in the morning and clear skies. The expected high today is expected to be 90 to 93 in most valley locations, but we are gradually cooling down. Last year, it was well over 100 deg for most of September.
Yesterday there were more scattered thundershowers in the Las Vegas valley, and some interesting skies toward sunset. Today is cooler with temperatures in the mid 80s. Attached are a couple of pictures from yesterday.
Light to moderate rainfall has arrived in Southern NV this afternoon. Currently moderate rain is falling at my location with a temperature of 73 deg as of 13:50 PDT. It is much needed as other than the heavy downpour a couple of weeks ago, it has been a dry monsoon season for Southern NV.
After the monsoon storms of a week ago, temperatures have been moderate for the most part in the Las Vegas Valley with highs in the upper 80s to low and mid 90s and pleasant low temperatures in the low 70s. One morning I had a low of 68. Currently 93 deg here at 13:30 PDT. It is very dry air with dew points in the low to mid 30s. For us, this is a…Read More
At about 01:00 last night, an alert blared over my phone for a flash flood warning. Shortly there after, heavy storms moved into the area that dropped very heavy rain. There was plenty of in cloud lightning as these storms moved through. It was a significant rainfall for my part of the valley.
I always loved the Vegas rains….the fresh smell as the moisture evaporated…..the smells from the creosote and other bushes!
High dew points for our area.
Yesterday there were thunderstorms in the mountains to the west and into Southern CA. I took the attached photo late yesterday afternoon. It was overcast in the Las Vegas Valley all day which kept.temperatures down with high temps mainly in the upper 80s or low 90s. Last night, we did get some showers here and now the sun is back as of 13:30 PDT,…Read More
Here is a photo of the clouds at sunrise this morning.
Clouds have thickened over the area and this is depicted well in the latest sounding from SPC. Still some virga over the area.
It is another mostly cloudy day in Southern NV, with mid and high-level clouds. This is again, keeping temps down with a high today expected to be only around 91 deg. There is some virga visible but as with the monsoon moisture a couple days ago, most of the precip was confined to the mountain areas to the north and west of the Las Vegas Valley.
Over the last few days, monsoon moisture has flowed into the region which sparked flooding storms in the mountain areas, and mostly cloudy skies over the Las Vegas Valley area which cut the heat dramatically. Several mountain areas to our west and north had significant flash floods from the storms that had developed.
Temperatures will slowly…Read More

The monsoon moisture and storms have been well east of here from extreme east AZ into…Read More
