Event narrative

Moist unstable air combined with strong afternoon heating to trigger thunderstorms across the Silver State. Strong storms in Elko County dumped 1.23 inches of rain in Clover Valley. Other storms over Mineral, Douglas and Washoe counties produced about an inch of rain in a half hour period. The heavy rain lead to running water over several streets. Across extreme southern Nevada, minor flash flooding in west Las Vegas flooded streets and filled the Oakey detention basin to a depth of five feet. Thunderstorm winds damaged a roof and downed large tree limbs.
