    Haven't seen much except sprinkles. It dries fast on the streets & sidewalks.
    Doubt you'll see much if any when you get here.

    The wild rabbits will take care of that post-haste, just as they did my wife's freshly planted flowers the other day.

    Vegas weather can be unpredictable, but you’re right, it dries up super quick. Unless there’s a big monsoon event, it’s usually just a passing inconvenience for us drivers

    "Big storm coming in! Batten down the hatches!"

    Rains like a quarter of an inch..

    I remember the floods in Las Vegas in 1999. The streets were like rivers going down E. Flamingo past Maryland Pkwy. I saw cars floating down the street trying to get to work. Thought I would never see that in Vegas
