Flooding hits parts of Las Vegas valley after 214-day dry streak ends
A road closure along a ramp from I-15 southbound to the Southern 215 Beltway westbound closed down all lanes. Drivers were asked to avoid the area and use other routes.
Another area that was impacted by flooding included Las Vegas Boulevard and Cheyenne Avenue in the northeast valley.
Thursday brought on widespread rain throughout the day and isolated chances of rain in the evening. A Winter Storm Warning for the mountains was expected until 4 p.m. Friday, according to 8 News Now Meteorologist Tedd Florendo.
Water was seen pouring out of a parking garage and into a nearby wash near Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. The water flow is normal for the area during heavy precipitation.
Lingering rain showers were expected to move into the Las Vegas valley Friday.

Pinpoint Weather Alert: Unbearable heat this weekend
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — Welcome to the weekend! It is a Pinpoint Weather Alert weekend, as today marks the start of a potential multiple-day 100-degree heatwave. Temperatures this morning are starting in the 70s, but it will be a very quick warm-up today. Expect temperatures to rise into the late morning hours today, with high temperatures around 100 degrees later this afternoon. The soupy atmosphere we have in place will allow for feels-like temperatures between 105-111 degrees. Most of the region is under heat advisories or extreme heat warnings, with the exception of the mountains. High temperatures in the high country will land in the mid-80s, but it could feel like near 90 at times for our friends in the mountains. Sunday's forecast will be a copy and paste of today's. Expect a warm and muggy start, with temperatures in the 70s. Another quick warm-up on Sunday, with high temperatures once again near 100 degrees and feels like temperatures between 105-111 degrees. More heat alerts are likely for Sunday. Cooling rain will be few and far between this weekend, with only spotty shower/storm chances. This major heat stretch will continue through next Thursday, with high temperatures in the upper 90s and near 100 degrees, along with hit or miss showers or storms. We will cool down by next Friday, as a cold front will bring much-needed relief to the area. Please be safe by taking it easy out in this heat. Hydrate, limit time outdoors, and find shade when you can! Take care of yourself and each other. Check on neighbors, especially the elderly or sick. Have a great weekend!Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Solve the daily Crossword
