Where
Clark County, Las Vegas
Reported by

Coordinates
36.215, -115.014 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Late night thunderstorms erupted over the Las Vegas Valley dumping rainfall amounts of one-half to nearly and inch of rain across mainly the central and eastern sections of the metro area. Water did pool in underpasses and low-lying intersections and made a few roads impassable. The location of the rainfall was favorable for quick runoff into the Flamingo Wash which rose significantly and prompted a precautionary evacuation of the mobile home park near Boulder Highway which was flooded less than a week earlier. No significant damage was reported from the flooding.

What these are

Flood
Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
