Nevada – Thick morning clouds slide across the Las Vegas Valley, muting the Strip’s lights and laying a cool, damp tone over the start of the day. The pavement carries a faint sheen as deeper moisture builds southwest of the city, setting the stage for a stormy stretch that could influence early Thanksgiving travel plans across Clark County.
According to the National Weather Service Las Vegas office, scattered showers expand later today with a rising chance of thunderstorms. Heavier pockets may form near the afternoon, and any downpour could trigger quick ponding on I-15, the 215 Beltway, and surface routes through Paradise and Spring Valley. Residents prepping for holiday trips should charge devices, plan additional time for airport transit, and secure outdoor decorations before gustier winds arrive.
According to meteorologists, Sunday holds the highest rain coverage. Showers and a few thunderstorms may redevelop by midday as moisture deepens over the Mojave. Gusts near 25 mph could shuffle tree limbs and reduce visibility in blowing rain. To be fair, widespread severe storms are not expected, yet the valley often reacts strongly to fast, localized downpours.
According to early guidance, Monday maintains the unsettled pattern with another pulse of showers building after midmorning. A stronger line may sweep through the city later in the day, keeping travel slow. No Winter Tease develops here, but cooler air edges in as the week progresses. That shift could matter for those driving to higher terrain, where a slight rain–snow mix may emerge midweek.
The valley stays unsettled through Tuesday before a gradual drying trend. After all, November often delivers these quick atmospheric swings as Thanksgiving nears and travel ramps up across the Southwest.
