Pleasant Morning Gives Way to Potential Thunderstorms This Afternoon

Las Vegas is waking up to mostly dry conditions, but heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop later today and into the evening. Afternoon temperatures are forecast to reach the high 80s, notably cooler than recent heats. Although the morning will remain mild, stronger storms are projected around 5 p.m., bringing a heightened risk of flash flooding, gusty winds, and lightning strikes. After sunset, skies should begin to clear, but a potential second wave of precipitation may arrive later at night. Residents should take precautions during outdoor activities and stay informed about changing weather conditions.
