With 100s through at least Tuesday across desert valleys, make sure that your pets are protected! If the pavement is too hot for YOUR feet, then it's too hot for theirs. ☀️
🐶 Be sure to bring extra water, use protective booties, & take frequent breaks in the shade.

DRIVE CAREFULLY. Roads are VERY slick.
Rainy Day in the Desert Southwest!

So why isn't it raining in Las Vegas and snowing on Mt. Charleston?
Well, a last-minute southward shift in the storm's track has resulted in the bulk of precipitation remaining south of town.
This shift can be seen in model guidance, particularly in the last 24 hours.
The National Weather Service has issued “Particularly Dangerous Situation” warnings four times in the last three months.
The first preceded the Mountain Fire (Ventura) - 243 structures destroyed.
The second preceded the Franklin Fire (Malibu) - 20 structures destroyed.
The third preceded the Palisades and Eaton Fires - Thousands of homes, gone as we continue to battle blazes.
The fourth, starts tomorrow.
