Limited Las Vegas rain could impact Christmas travel starting Thursday

Southern Nevada could see limited rain in the Las Vegas Valley and light snow in the mountains most likely starting Thursday.

“Perhaps a chance Thursday afternoon into the evening and more of a possibility on Friday,” National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Woods said. “There could be a 50 percent chance or a little better on Friday.”

Snowfall in the Spring Mountains would be limited to a few inches along the same time frame, Woods said.

Tuesday should see a high near 59 with light winds. Similar conditions are expected on Wednesday.

Precipitation chances could linger through the Christmas weekend and into next week, Woods said, adding that rainfall totals would be perhaps two-tenths of an inch cumulative through the Christmas travel season.
