Yesterday was a rather cold, rainy and windy day across the Las Vegas Valley with valley temperatures not getting out of the low to mid-40s. Strong wind gusts were evident most of the day as well but began to relax by later in the evening. I also read that communities to the northwest near the foot of the mountains received a brief dusting of snow early in the day as they are at higher elevation relative to the valley floor.

Today is much improved with only light winds and sunny skies, but still below average temperature. Our high today is expected to only be in the low 50s while the average high is around 64 deg.

Rainfall for the valley amounted to about 0.2 inch at most locations with higher amounts to the north and northwest. The next few days look like relatively quiet weather for Southern Nevada.
