Vegas locals and visitors can expect a break from the rain as lingering light showers taper off into isolated sprinkles this afternoon and evening, with a slight chance of thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service, increased chances of occasional lightning strikes are still on the table, especially over the lower Colorado River Valley and southern Mohave County. People heading to Clark and San Bernardino counties should be prepared for lower risk.
Rain is clearing out, and warm, dry weather is returning thanks to high pressure in the Pacific. Temperatures on Thanksgiving will be a little warmer than normal. There will be some breezy winds on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Lake Mohave may get rough with gusts up to 35 mph, so anyone heading out on the water should check the forecast first.
Flights at Harry Reid Airport may have small delays as rain fades out, with busier activity possible from midnight to 8 a.m. Sunday. Pilots should stay updated because cloud ceilings could drop to 5,000–8,000 ft during light showers, otherwise staying above 10,000 ft. Northwest winds will increase by late morning, so takeoffs may be a bit windy.
In the tri-state area, Sunday looks mostly dry with clouds clearing up. A few scattered rain showers may still pop up, but nothing more than an isolated sprinkle. Weather spotters can report anything unusual, though major rain isn’t expected.
