Here’s how much rain Las Vegas got in 24 hours from February storm

On the eve of Valentine’s Day, Mother Nature delivered a big, wet kiss to the Las Vegas Valley.

Thankfully, that kiss ended a seven-month dry spell in the valley.

Harry Reid International Airport measured 0.01 inches of rainfall early Thursday morning, officially ending the dry streak after 214 days without measurable rain.

Las Vegas’ last measurable rain was recorded July 13 during the summer monsoon season.

And after an abnormally warm and dry winter, a major Pacific storm unleashed some much-needed rain and snow in Southern Nevada.

Most areas saw at least 0.25 inches of rain, according to the Clark County Regional Flood Control District. The NWS, in a post on X, called Thursday’s rain “the first widespread rain event for the area in months.”

On Friday morning, the NWS said Las Vegas had 0.57 of an inch of rain. Henderson checked in with 0.42, while Pahrump received 0.70.

The NWS said on X that the airport “picked up over half an inch of rain!” The agency said the last time the airport saw half an inch of rain in one calendar day happened during Labor Day weekend in 2023.
