Las Vegas sunny, cool before a possible stormy Election Day
Waiting in line to vote Tuesday appears likely to be a wet proposition, maybe extremely wet … with some snow depending on where one votes.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for chances of rain Monday through Wednesday.
The strong Pacific storm may could more than a foot of snow to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and rain from a half-inch to and inch and a half.
“Thursday’s cool and showery weather was just a primer for a more powerful Pacific Storm shaping up for early next week with potential for widespread rain and significant snow in the mountains,” the weather service said in a Friday tweet.
