Tonight were talking about rain, tedd. tedd florendo looking outside it looks temps remain warm but muggy do to the humidity. Wind also stay light and the smoke plume from the blue cut fire has drifted way more west and away from the area. Dewpoint remain high enough for the risk of more tstorms maybe this evening, but should be. Temps around the valley in the 90s through many neighborhoods with the warmest temps typically over to the east side of the valley and southeast sections. Not as warm for the foothills and the northwest part of the region. Were below normal for temps but not much. The clouds also helped keep a lid on any daytime warming from the sun. Regional temps also stayed warm but still hot over in death warm down the Colorado River valley from mesquite all the way down to laughlin. More tolerable temps in the central great basin with those areas inthe 80s to low 90s. Radar shows very little convective tstorm occurring. A shield of clouds helped keep a tight lid on any Storm Development this morning and afternoon. Now with clearing and us getting to the hottest part of the day, there is still slight chances for tstorms mainly east of i15 and better chances for southern clark county. Mostly in mohave county. Futurecast shows we get a bete tomorrow but its sunday we see the return of showers and storms chances due to an area of low pressure that will drift in some rain from the south. Shower and Storm Chances also return for monday through tuesday as well before we see a drying trend by wednesday and more sunshine. So the forecast is calling for temps in the 80s by morning with clouds and some clearing. Expect muggy condtions this evening with slight hit and miss shower chances as well. Tomorrow expecting temps near 100 and partly to mostly sunny through the day. Very slim chances for showers. Extended forecast calls for temps to drop even more by late weekend and early week with high in the 90s still. Showers chances return by sunday and through early week with sunday and monday being our best shot for some rain.
