Expect to see some rain and snow in Southern Nevada during Super Bowl week, thanks to a “Pineapple Express” that is hitting California.
A day of sunshine will eventually turn south ahead of a wet Super Bowl week. In California, dangerous rain and snow may threaten lives, according to forecasters.
The recent precipitation should help the valley while snowfall should bolster the region’s vital snowpack.
A new study shows that human-caused climate change is altering the region’s temperatures and worsening extreme drought.
Up to a quarter-inch of rain fell over most of the valley before tapering off. Delays of more than 3 hours slowed flights before conditions improved.
For those who can afford to plunk down an average of more than $10,000 a seat — the highest for any Super Bowl — some rain gear certainly is affordable.
Wednesday is expected to cloud up in advance of two wet days with up to 16 inches of snow forecast for mountains, says the National Weather Service.
Harry Reid International Airport set a daily heat record Monday. But don’t expect the warmth to last longer than a few days.
“It will be really nice through Tuesday into Wednesday,” said meteorologist John Salmen. “The whole (storm) wave starts up north and works its way toward us during the week.”
Brownstone Canyon, near the Red Rock Canyon visitors center, logged 2.13 inches during the storm for the heaviest rainfall.
Fog and rain dominated the valley Monday, and the nearby mountains saw snow. Harry Reid airport was worst in the nation for flight delays and cancellations.
Light rain was falling mostly across the southeast valley at 5 p.m. Saturday. Snow flurries began after sunset at Lee Canyon and were expected all night.
Some Las Vegas residents woke up to a white Thursday as snow fell in parts of the valley.
Snow could greet Las Vegas Valley motorists Thursday morning, says the National Weather Service.
