The National Weather Service in Las Vegas reports that residents can expect "isolated shower and thunderstorm activity" through the rest of the workweek. Chances are "decreasing chances and coverage each day, becoming negligible over the weekend," according to the National Weather Service.
Recent precipitation has kept temperatures cooler than usual, but the National Weather Service reports that “Drying conditions will allow temperatures to climb back to above-normal through the weekend and start of the next work week before moisture is reintroduced to the Desert Southwest midweek.” Tropical Storm Juliette is weakening with no direct land threat, though its remnants may influence southern Nevada’s weather as “Mid-to-upper level moisture will shear off from the remnants of Juliette, queuing itself right into our southwesterly flow aloft,” potentially bringing increased cloud cover late tonight through Thursday.
The aviation outlook for Harry Reid International remains optimistic, with quiet weather and VFR conditions expected today and Thursday. "A few thunderstorms should again develop over the mountains around noon, but coverage and intensity should be less than in previous days," though pilots should watch for erratic, gusty winds common with summer storms. "Spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures," as their observations continue to play an important role in keeping the community informed, as stated by the National Weather Service.
