Another March storm makes it mark on Las Vegas Valley
Feeling the chill and rain? Another Pacific storm has left its mark on the Las Vegas Valley.
For the second time in March, the valley saw some scattered showers Thursday. The surrounding mountains saw some snow.
A wind advisory was in effect for most of the day as gusts and showers entered the area, according to the National Weather Service.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area said in an X post that the area was receiving snow flurries “on and off” Thursday morning.

About 0.04 to 0.08 inches of rainfall were recorded across Red Rock Canyon, Mount Charleston and in southwest Henderson near Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area as of Thursday afternoon.
Parts of the northwest valley saw 0.04 inches Thursday night, the Regional Flood Control District reported.
The skies are expected to clear in time for NASCAR weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Highs are expected to be 63 for Saturday and 69 for Sunday.
Last week, a Pacific storm brought some light rain to the valley and snow to the nearby mountains after a warm, dry February.
