2:15 P.M. UPDATE: Although several neighborhoods saw a little bit of rain early Saturday afternoon, it hasn't rained so far where it counts -- McCarran International Airport!
As of 2:10 PM PST, most of the rain has missed the airport. McCarran has only recorded a trace, so the streak of no measurable rain goes on for McCarran! (For now...) #NVwx #VegasWeather pic.twitter.com/7FHXZy2w1M
