Severe thunderstorm warning for Las Vegas valley
A severe thunderstorm warning that had been issued for the southern half of the Las Vegas Valley expired at 5:15 p.m. Saturday.
The National Weather Service warning called for 60 mph winds, quarter-size hail and heavy rain.
Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City and the Southern Highlands area were expected to be affected.
At around 4:45 p.m., the weather service reported a wind gust of 62 mph at Allegiant Stadium.
A rare thunderstorm gave much of the Las Vegas Valley a good drenching Thursday.
After a Sunday morning low near 90, well above normal for mid-July, the high should reach near 111. Winds will be south-southeast between 5 and 14 mph.
High temperatures are forecast to drop below 110 to start the work week, but morning lows will remain in the upper 80s.
