Las Vegas sunny, cool before a possible stormy Election Day

Snowfall is possible from a Pacific storm that may arrive early next week, according to the Nat ...

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.

Until then, a sunny weekend with cool temperatures is expected. The Saturday high should be near 68 with light winds.

A Sunday morning low near 47 is forecast before an afternoon high near 71. Winds may reach 10 mph.

Monday’s low will be around 53 with a 20 percent chance of showers after 11 a.m.

Election Day showers are likely after 11 a.m. with a high near 62, says the weather service.
