An exceptionally moist and unstable Pacific storm produced rain showers and thunderstorms over southern Nevada early President's Day morning. Within just a few hours, over an inch of rain had fallen on parts of the west side of the Las Vegas Valley and area washes began to gradually fill with water. Showers continued to fall through the morning and left from three-quarters (0.75) to over an inch of rain at most recording stations within the metro area. The Charleston Underpass filled with water and pools formed in many low-lying intersections causing some vehicles to stall.
- Flood
- Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.
