Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms over the weekend increased the risk of flash flooding in Las Vegas and surrounding areas. Gusty winds also posed a hazard, potentially causing localized damage and disruptions. Residents in low-lying areas and near washes were particularly vulnerable to flooding. While the immediate threat has subsided, lingering showers on Monday may still cause minor disruptions. Cooler temperatures are expected to provide some relief from the previously hot and dry conditions.
