The valley may be spared from much rain today as dry and stable air spreads across Southern Nevada, but the sunny skies aren’t expected to last long, according to the National Weather Service.

Some light rain fell for a few minutes today east of Interstate 15, around Henderson and Nellis Air Force Base, officials said.

But a strong low-pressure system moving across the valley may produce thunderstorms in Southern Nevada on Thursday, the Weather Service said.

Northwest Clark and Lincoln counties could see the most storm activity, which might include hail, strong winds and localized flash flooding, officials said.
