Drying out in Las Vegas
Posted
and last updated

LAS VEGAS — A Flash Flood Warning in the Spring Mountains is set to expire at 12:30 p.m. Up to 8" of rain in Kyle Canyon brought devastating flash flooding to Mt. Charleston last night and this morning, and the roads are washed out in spots along Kyle Canyon Road and Lee Canyon Road (and therefore closed by Nevada State Police).

Las Vegas trends to a partly cloudy sky this afternoon, with the chance for an additional shower only around 20%. It remains quite muggy, and that combines with warmer weather (highs in the mid 80s) to make it feel fairly unpleasant outside. South winds will linger at 15-25 mph. Lows tonight drop to the upper 60s and low 70s around the valley.

The humidity in the wake of Hilary is slow to thin out this week, so Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday still include pop-up rain chances between 20% and 40%. Wednesday and Thursday seem to be the more likely days for spotty afternoon storms. Highs climb to the upper 80s Tuesday, mid 90s Wednesday through Friday, and 100° this weekend. Saturday and Sunday see mostly sunny, dry conditions as humidity finally begins to drop off.
