Storm dusts Mount Charleston with snow, drops hail in west valley
April showers bring May flowers.
But when stormy weather strikes in May, as it did Tuesday, what you get is hail. And even snow.
According to the National Weather Service, a storm cell rolled in from the west, dropping a bit of snow on Mount Charleston, as well as pea-sized hail in parts of the west valley.
The storm is expected to move out by Wednesday evening, with a second, smaller storm passing through on Thursday. On-and-off showers will continue through Thursday, with temperatures continuing to stay slightly below average until the weekend. Tuesday’s high reached 72 degrees, with a low of 58 degrees, according to the weather service.
Things will start heating up next week. The weather service expects Tuesday to be the first 100-degree day of the year for Las Vegas.
