An area of pulse thunderstorms caused boulders to slide onto Nevada State Highway 28 at mile marker 3. No damage reports/estimates were available.

The wider storm

An upper-level area of low pressure near the California coast and a ridge axis over the eastern Great Basin combined to bring increased south to southeast flow into western Nevada and aided in producing a focusing mechanism for thunderstorms. These thunderstorms produced localized areas of heavy rainfall in far western Nevada.
