LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — We've had our fair share of active weather in the Las Vegas valley this week, and it's not expected to let up for at least the next few days.
On Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory and a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of Clark County, and we saw a burst of rainfall in the Henderson area.

Las Vegas has also cooled down quite a bit. We hit a high temperature of just 92 degrees on Monday — the first time our high temperature was below 100 degrees since July 24.
You may be wondering how much rain we have actually seen in the valley over the past few days. So far, just a trace of rain at the airport, about a quarter-inch in Henderson and the Southern Highlands.
On the heavier side, more than an inch has fallen in Indian Springs. And on the lighter side, the Summerlin area has seen less than a 10th of an inch.
It hasn't just been here in Southern Nevada, but throughout the desert southwest. In fact, our neighbors in Arizona got quite the sight when they experienced a large dust storm — called a haboob — on Monday.
