KTNV — We're seeing a muggy start to our Monday as the increased humidity could mean rain for the Las Vegas valley.
Plus, local colleges UNLV and CSN are having their first day of classes today.
We're looking at a return of showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon through the overnight hours. If storms develop, expect strong outflow winds, possible heavy downpours and urban flooding. Never drive into a flooded area and remember, turn around don't drown when in doubt!
Back to school for local colleges
The heat is on outside, but as far as local college students are concerned, summer is almost over. Classes begin today at UNLV.
This marks the university's third consecutive year of record enrollment. That includes more than 350 military veterans and families and students from 33 countries. Ahead of today's classes, more than 1,700 have moved into campus housing and are getting oriented to college life.
The College of Southern Nevada Coyotes are also back on campus this morning for their first day.
CSN serves more than 50,000 students each year, offers 180+ programs, and more than 70% of its students receive financial aid.
