Chance of more rain today; dry weather later this week

Sticky air and rainy weather are expected to linger a little longer in the Las Vegas Valley before dry desert conditions return.

A total of .04 inches of rain fell at McCarran International Airport on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

There is a 40 percent chance for rain today with the potential for scattered thunderstorms to hit spots of the valley, National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Metzger said.

With humidity at 30 percent, Metzger said, there is a lot of moisture in the air, causing the wet weather over the last week.

Dry conditions are expected to return later in the week as the low air pressure that creates humidity and rain is pushed out of the valley.
