Las Vegas, Nevada – Scattered thunderstorms and gusty winds will impact much of Nevada today, including the Las Vegas metro area. Moderate rainfall and the potential for dangerous outflow winds are expected, particularly in higher terrain. Residents and travelers are urged to plan ahead and take necessary precautions when outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service, the storms could produce periods of moderate rain and pose a hazard with dangerous lightning. The greatest coverage of storms will be over mountainous areas, but significant rainfall and gusty winds are possible across the region, including lower elevations.
The storm system is expected to affect major highways and local roads, particularly those in mountainous regions where road conditions could become slick due to rainfall. Drivers are advised to use caution, and motorists in high-elevation areas should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
