Just a comment on Matt K’s weekly summary. Today’s (11.30) is the best he’s done so far, covering a complicated map with clarity and confidence. He improves every week. Good job!

Happy birthday Henry! I just had my 72nd birthday this past Sunday, Oct. 12. Have a good one!

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.

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.

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.

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

This has been the hottest day so far this summer in the Las Vegas Valley. I had a max temperature of 107 today while the airport was well above 111. The forecast high was expected to be 110 to 115 today. An excessive heat warning is in effect through tomorrow. The monsoon moisture and storms have been well east of here from extreme east AZ into…Read More

It has been a while since I checked in here. But we are definitely in the heat of summer here in Southern Nevada. Also, we have in in and out of the fire smoke from the California wildfires. The worst day was this past Tuesday when our AQI approached 180. Most of the days it has been in the upper end of the moderate range. It seems this pattern…Read More

After gusty storms Tuesday in the central and eastern portions of the Las Vegas Valley, we are on the western edge of a plume of monsoonal moisture that is helping fuel more thundershowers and gusty storms today. A light thundershower just passed through my area. a while ago at around 14:30 PDT. What happened earlier in the week looked indicative…Read More

After several days of 100+ high temps in southern Nevada, it has cooled down significantly after the passage of a cool front yesterday and last night. The highest temp at my place was 105 two day ago, while the airport recorded 111. Last night the low here was 66 deg, and currently it is a comfortable 82 degrees at 12:50 PDT and heat index of 77.…Read More

The heat has returned to the desert Southwest in force. The temperature here broke 100 deg. for the first time yesterday with a high of 102. It is currently 100 deg. as of 12:30 PDT and an excessive heat warning has been issued through tomorrow. Low temps have been in the low to mid 80s so far, and my low here early this morning was 80.

It is a much less active day across Southern NV today compared to yesterday. There was one report of 1″ hail just north of Las Vegas that is also shown on the severe wx reports on SPC. This weekend looks to be quite warm again with temps reaching 100+ but dry for the most part.

At 13:50 PDT, we had another thunderstorm with a heavy downpour. Temperature dropped from 89 to 82 currently at 14:10. Now we just have light rain.

The past couple of days have been unsettled across Southern NV with scattered thunderstorms and thundershowers developing each afternoon. The night before last, we had a brief heavy thundershower here at my location. More of the same is in store for this afternoon as well. The temperature at 13:00 PDT is 87 with a dew pt of 49.

Cooler temperatures have prevailed across the Las Vegas Valley starting yesterday. Sunday was overcast for most of the day, but no precipitation in the valley. Early this morning, there were a few sprinkles, but by late morning, the sky started clearing and is currently partly cloudy and breezy with a temperature of 83 as of 12:00 PDT.

I had a high temp of 99 deg. at my location while the airport has observed 106. Currently 98 deg at 16:30 PDT. It looks like another rather warm night with lows in the low to mid 80s in most locations in the Las Vegas Valley. Some high clouds have been present, but otherwise very sunny and clear.

It was a warm night in the Las Vegas Valley last night. I had a low here of 82 deg., and currently at 10:10 PDT it is already 94 deg. The forecast high is 106 which seems to agree also with the HRRR. With the passage of a front, it should cool back down into the low to mid 90s after tomorrow.

The pre-summer heat has arrived in the Las Valley. Currently, it is 95 deg at my location as of 12:30 PDT. But, the high today is expected to be around 101 deg. today. More seasonal temps are expected by Sunday.

It looks like the heat will be building across southern NV over the next several days. We are on track to breach 100+ degrees by later this week. Summer is on the door step for much of the Southwest after a relatively mild spring.

We have not yet hit the 100 deg.mark at my location in the west Las Vegas Valley, but temps are trending in the low to mid 90s now each day. The air mass is very dry current;u with a dew point of only 11 deg. Thus, even with the 90+ temps, the low humidity makes it feel more like the mid 80s or so. I do hope you folks in the Northeast get some…Read More

We have had a string of relatively mild weather in the Las Vegas area the past several days, except for the gusty winds from time to time. Yesterday, winds gusted into the 40+mph range with overcast skies. Henry mentioned a storm report for wind near Las Vegas, but those storms were in the mountains west of here and not over the Las Vegas Valley.…Read More

The upper low is spinning over AZ now and heading northeast out of the area. By Thursday, temperatures will be up into the low 90s and remain warm until the weekend. So far,…Read More

The upper level low has produced showery weather over much of the Southwest since last night. Our temperatures here have been in the low to mid 60s much of the day. More showers are expected over the Las Vegas Valley tomorrow before the low moves out. After that, we will see a rapid warm up by mid-week with temps getting into the upper 80s.

March went out like a lion with very strong gusty winds last night in the Las Vegas Valley. A high wind warning has been issued, but looking at the obs, I didn’t see gust much above 45 mph. Still, it was very windy with some desert dust blowing in. Much cooler today with the passage of the front. Yesterday it was in the mid 70s, while today it is…Read More

We have had a rapid pre-summer warm up in the Southwest the past couple of days, Yesterday we had the earliest 90 deg. day in the Las Vegas Valley. Today is much cooler as a cold front passes through which will drop temps to seasonable levels and usher in strong winds.

A significant warm up is in store for the Las Vegas Valley in the coming days. It seems like we go from cool to almost summer-like temps in just a few days. By the middle of next week, we could be pushing 90 deg!

Another windy day is in store for the Las Vegas Valley and much of the Southwest today. Yesterday there were gusts upwards of 45 mph. Last night we did get some showers before more wind whipped in behind them. Winds did decouple some overnight, but have picked up again, though not as strong as yesterday.

The weather in the Las Vegas Valley started off with overcast skies early this morning while the L.A. area received heavy rainfall. I could see that the Spring Mountains were getting some fresh snowfall, but the moisture dried up before arriving here other than a few quick sprinkles. Currently it is partly cloudy and very windy with a temperature…Read More

A++++++++++++++++++++ for Henry!!!
