Chance of rain decreases in Las Vegas Valley
This week’s rain forecast might not be as likely as originally anticipated by the National Weather Service.
“For several days the weather models have indicated that a band of showers and thunderstorms would develop this afternoon,” the weather service said Wednesday morning on Twitter. “However … Over the past 3 days those models have gradually shifted the band further east.”
Thursday has a 30 percent chance for showers “mostly over by the mountains,” meteorologist Andy Gorelow said. A 71-degree high and winds between 10 and 20 mph are expected.
Friday should be dry with a high of 74 degrees before Saturday’s 20 percent chance for showers and a forecast 71-degree high, meteorologist John Salmen said.
Sunday’s forecast is dry with a high of 71 degrees.
Overnight lows through the weekend should be in the low-to-mid 50s, the weather service said.
