UPDATE AT 10:45 A.M. The Flash Flood Warning has ended early for the Las Vegas valley. Most of the rain has moved out of the immediate area. The warning was originally scheduled to expire at noon.

ORIGINAL STORY
Although the Las Vegas valley didn't see much rain on Monday, that may change today.
A half inch of rain has already been reported at Tule Springs in the Centennial Hills area. It only took 10 minutes to reach that level.
The rain is expected to become more widespread during the early morning hours and there is a Flash Flood Warning in effect until noon today.
Flooding could happen in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Boulder City.
