The National Weather Service on Thursday officially measured 0.57 inches, slightly more than a half-inch, of rain at Harry Reid International Airport, breaking one of the longest dry spells in Vegas' history. The last time precipitation fell over Vegas was on July 13, 2024, Brian Planz, a Vegas-based weather service meteorologist said Friday.

On the eve of Valentine’s Day, Mother Nature delivered a big, wet kiss to the Las Vegas Valley. Thankfully, that kiss ended a seven-month dry spell in the valley. Harry Reid International Airport measured 0.

Flooding occurred in some areas across the Las Vegas valley Thursday night following the first signs of measurable rain in months. A road closure along a ramp from I-15 southbound to the Southern 215 Beltway westbound closed down all lanes.
