A Flood Advisory for northeastern Clark County expired at 9 a.m. Sunday after overnight rain flooded low-lying and poorly drained areas. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas said the heavy rain had ended by the time it let the advisory lapse, and it asked drivers to keep respecting the road closures that remain.

The advisory was first issued at 6:06 a.m. Sunday. At that hour, radar showed persistent light-to-moderate rain through the night, and the weather service said minor flooding was ongoing or about to begin. Its post on X at 6:21 a.m. said the rain had caused nuisance flooding along low water crossings, particularly near Valley of Fire, and told drivers to use caution that morning.

The advisory named Mesquite, Overton, Moapa Town, Moapa Valley, Valley of Fire, Logandale, Overton Beach, Echo Bay, Echo Bay Campground, Bunkerville, State Route 168 at mile marker 21, and Coyote Springs as places that could see flooding.

An update at 8 a.m. said the steadier rain had tapered off across the region. Wet soil and the widespread rain earlier in the morning, however, were expected to keep water running in local washes and drainages, and more showers could push streamflows higher. The impacts stayed at minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

The threat has not passed for the region. A Flood Watch remains in effect until 4 a.m. Monday for parts of south central and southern Nevada. In its midday forecast discussion, the weather service said numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue through late afternoon Sunday and taper off in the evening. Brief heavy rain and lightning are possible, and gusty southwest to west winds are expected across the Mojave Desert this afternoon.

Overnight rainfall across the eastern Mojave Desert, including Las Vegas, ranged from roughly a quarter inch to three-quarters of an inch. The heaviest totals from the storm system fell in eastern Lincoln and Mohave counties, where the weather service reported widespread amounts of 1.5 to 4 inches.

This is the second flood advisory for the area in three days. On Friday, Oct. 30, the weather service issued one for northeastern Clark County and northwestern Mohave County, warning that thunderstorms were bringing heavy rain and that some low-water crossings could become impassable. That advisory ran until 5 p.m. Friday.

Conditions are forecast to dry out Monday under northerly breezes. Temperatures start slightly below normal early in the week and climb slightly above normal by next weekend. Patchy fog is possible in cooler valleys over the next few mornings.
