LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The National Weather Service says winter weather is on the way to Southern Nevada, with rain and snow expected.
However, on Sunday night, the valley was still waiting for the forecasted rain.
Meteorologists say since it hasn’t rained in the Las Vegas Valley in so long, drivers can expect roads to be extra slick when the rain falls.
Video filmed around noon on Sunday shows snow flurries falling on Mount Charleston. But less than two hours later, the skies were sunny once again.
Lee Canyon Ski Resort is prepared for fresh powder, with four of its five chairlifts open. They say they’ve received 7 inches of snowfall since Saturday night.
Meanwhile, this weather system is also bringing some much-anticipated rain to Southern California in areas charred by wildfires.
Crews in the burn-scar neighborhoods have been cleaning up, bracing for the threat of possible mudslides that the rain could bring.
That rainstorm was delayed Sunday afternoon as officials in Los Angeles County gave an update to victims of the Palisades fire.
“I want to get you back to see your properties as soon as possible. With the weather event, that’s delayed things. If the weather cooperates, tomorrow we’ll open the last two zones, and everybody will be able to return to their property,” said an LAPD area command officer.
