“The 00z Canadian Regional shows local amounts of towards 10”, which would be exceeding rare for the region from a tropical cyclone, potentially unique for Nevada…Some locations within this arid region are slated to get 1-2 years worth of rain in one day. If a 7″+ maximum materialized over Mount Charleston Sunday into early Monday, it would challenge Nevada’s 24 hour rainfall record, set in 2004….Debris flows and rock slides are a given considering the volume of rainfall expected. The overall combination of effects could block and undermine roads, particularly sensitive areas such as sections of U.S. 50 in NV. Towns could get cut off.

Heavy rain in Death Valley and currently rising to 0.39 IN from 0.11 IN a hour ago.  Very cool temps at 23C but they do midnight to midnight reset temps so today max would be 29.4C 85F just after midnight, cannot be max at 23C or 24C but will classed as minimum instead which so far 22C the lowest so far.  If drop to 19C that would be considered coolest or even cold record for Death Valley, not sure if 19C ever reached in August as they only appear from late October onward to Spring for night time minimums.

In Las Vegas, the storm total from Saturday to Monday could challenge the city’s all-time three-day rainfall record of 2.59 inches on Aug. 20-22, 1957. [Eye on the Storm site]

oo-er! But to be fair there's no vegetation to trap the rain, so it will run off as flash floods plus the occasional mudslide.

0.29 inches so far, it'll be interesting to see how much they end up with.

Not often you see Las Vegas, in August, being cooler than the Costa del Sheppey!

Probably first time to know that in the UK is a bit warmer than Death Valley in summer months.    Here today was 23C and Death Valley currently 22C with rain amount rising to 0.63IN at 6pm, I get that hourly update from NOAA site.

Moderate to heavy rain tonight for Death Valley currently at 11pm 1.68 in before the reset with max temps 29C 85F and min 22C 71F.  

The radar show like a bit of pivoting which Death Valley are in the meddle and still more rain to come  so likely to top 2 or 3 inches by the end.

I wonder how the flat salt lake would become a real lakes now.

Fully updated stats for Furnace Creek.   Temperatures was 28C 82F and 22C 71F at night.  Rainfall reached 2.20 inches that 55.88mm of rain fell so that impressive and very interesting to see this happen in August.  Plus no 50C 122F reached this month so that unusual for August only reached 49C 120F one day.

Its very interesting to witness a severe thunderstorm in a desert area.
I was in Dubai about twenty years ago and was amazed with the depth of flooding of the desert. Roads were awash with water and which in places was several feet deep.
Have not researched the incidence of flooding there, but I don't think its particularly rare?

SW USA had a cooler summer from the way I see all blues over that regions.  Death Valley did not reach 50C which is unusual for August as it always does.

Lot of rain and thunderstorms striking northern Cyprus including Nicosia for the first time to see rain falling in a summer month.  There was rain in some places yesterday and in Nicosia and today as well in other places.  Rain at night normally start from October to May but not from June to Sept.   Very interesting month from 45.2C to thunderstorms.  How I wish I was there with top of the range weather station as there seem so much variety and interesting weather events while UK climate gone dead boring like this year.
