Moisture possibility
The weather service said moisture conditions could change later next week, perhaps increasing the chances for some monsoon activity closer to Las Vegas.
“There is disagreement on the timing and whether it will be in Arizona or possibly closer to Las Vegas,” Kryston said. “But some of the models are showing it’s possible, but only time and details will tell. It may not even be thunderstorms.”
