After dry start to winter, more rain falls in Las Vegas

Thu, Feb 6, 2014 (9:08 a.m.)

Las Vegas Valley residents may need to break out their dusty umbrellas this afternoon.

Cloudy morning skies have already produced a light sprinkle of rain in southern Las Vegas and Summerlin and snow on Mount Charleston.

There was a 30 percent chance for more rain in the valley by late afternoon or early evening, National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Metzger said.

It is the second rain in less than a week after a record-setting, early winter string of 57 dry days.

The drought ended Friday with a sprinkling of rain at McCarran International Airport, the Weather Service’s official recording station.
