A weather disturbance over the desert of Southern California helped send monsoon moisture from Arizona toward Las Vegas before the sun rose.
Scattered rain is possible through 10 a.m. with dry conditions expected from late morning through midday in the valley.
Desert Doppler before 6 a.m. shows scattered rain. Watch for wet streets on the morning drive! A second round of storms is possible this afternoon, with lots of heat in between. Watch @KTNV until 7 a.m. or stream at https://t.co/epl6Erjtlf for the latest! pic.twitter.com/RzhHGehAop

Mountain storms will flare up around midday through the afternoon, with the potential for gusty winds, heavy rain, and more lightning. It's possible that a few of those storms could drift into parts of Las Vegas from the mid-to-late afternoon, although that chance is only about 30% in any one neighborhood.
A stray shower is possible tonight, but the chance is small.
Scattered showers and storms are also possible on Tuesday as that same system in California continues to move slowly across Southern Nevada.
