Light showers moved through the southwest Las Vegas Valley on Friday afternoon, creating wet pavement, wet sidewalks and shallow puddles, according to a radar update from the National Weather Service in Las Vegas. The agency posted the update at 12:40 p.m. Friday based on 12:35 p.m. radar data, noting that the light rain could also leave water spots on freshly washed vehicles.
Drivers and pedestrians in the southwest valley should watch for slick surfaces and shallow standing water on local roads and walkways. According to a forecast discussion issued by the National Weather Service in Las Vegas at 12:38 p.m. Friday, a few isolated showers are possible around the Las Vegas Valley as an unsettled weather system moves through the region, though anything more than a trace of rainfall locally will remain isolated.
Windy conditions are also expected across the Las Vegas Valley on Friday afternoon and night ahead of a weather front. While Wind Advisories are in effect through Friday night for far northwest Clark County, Nye, Esmeralda, Inyo and northwest San Bernardino counties for sustained southerly winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts of 40 to 50 mph, the Las Vegas Valley is not under an advisory. Forecasters said wind gusts around 30 mph are still possible in Las Vegas, with southwest gusts peaking between 20 and 25 knots at Harry Reid International Airport during the afternoon before easing slightly in the evening and strengthening again early Saturday morning.
Showers may also develop over higher elevations around the Las Vegas Valley and across Clark County on Friday night, which could obscure surrounding mountain terrain. Conditions are expected to turn calm and dry from the latter half of Saturday into Monday morning as high pressure builds over the area.
Another weather system is forecast to reach the region on Monday, bringing more widespread light-to-moderate rain and cooler temperatures into Tuesday. High temperatures in desert valleys are expected to peak in the 70s on Friday before dropping into the 60s next week. Forecasters expect Monday through Tuesday rainfall totals around Las Vegas to reach 0.10 to 0.25 inches, with higher amounts of 0.30 to 1.0 inches in northeast Clark County, Lincoln County and Mohave County, followed by additional rain chances later in the week.
