It didn’t take long for freezing temperatures to make it to the Las Vegas Valley this year.

The National Weather Service said in a social media post Wednesday that the morning low temperature was 31 degrees. This was the first sub-freezing temperature of 2024 and the first time the Las Vegas weather dipped below freezing this winter season.

And the winter fun isn’t over yet. The weather service says snow could greet Las Vegas Valley motorists Thursday morning.

The valley will be on the lower edge of a storm system that could bring a foot to the Eastern Sierra Mountains.

With clouds increasing, rain showers are a possibility early Thursday, possibly mixing with snow after 3 a.m. in the west valley, including Summerlin. Winds of 7-13 mph could gust to 20 mph.

The chance of precipitation is 50 percent. Little or now snow accumulation is expected. Lee Canyon, which has received 24 inches of snow this season, could add 1-2 inches.

The risk of snow is about 20 percent on Thursday morning before the sky clears with an afternoon high of 51. Winds may gust to 30 mph.
