🚨 LAS VEGAS FLASH FLOODING: Record Rain as Rachel’s Remnants Surge

“#weatherupdate #floodalert #breakingweather #LasVegasWeather 🚨 Las Vegas flash flooding is happening right now as the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel soak the Southwest. By 7 AM Sunday, Las Vegas measured 1.08 inches of rain, smashing the old daily record of 0.78 inches and tying the all-time daily record for October. That is more than the city’s entire monsoon season total, in a place that normally sees only 0.32 inches in all of October. In this Las Vegas weather update, we break down the flash flood warning for west central Clark County, the apparent swift water rescues reported on the 215 at Charleston Boulevard, and where the flood watch stands across southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and Utah. ⚠️ FLOOD WARNING: A flood watch runs until 5 AM Monday in the Las Vegas Valley, with wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph possible. Flash flood guidance drops fast on soaked desert soil, so stay out of washes, flood channels, and burn scar areas, and remember: turn around, don’t drown. Most flood deaths happen in vehicles. 🌧️ FORECAST: Another 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected across the Southwest on Sunday, with locally higher totals. The Weather Prediction Center has the region under a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4) for excessive rainfall. A second low-pressure system arrives early next week, and Utah could see 1 to 3 inches of rain from Saturday through Wednesday, with the heaviest rain most likely Monday. We also cover the Rachel track uncertainty, how the trough and cold front combine, plus best, middle, and worst case scenarios. Conditions are changing fast, so check your local NWS office and keep wireless emergency alerts turned on.
