As denise so will put it is that no one will ever be able lets get back to the weather. The smoke we had earlier today with shifting winds and all kinds of stuff. Kevin i dont think so i think well get some more smoke early tomorrow morning and possibly on friday as well. Once the winds relax and allow the smoke to come back in. We will talk about heat and plenty of it because when you watch these images of the wildfire, take this into account. When a tree burst into flames, that would has reached the temperature of 572 the temperature of the surface is about 1500 degrees. It can go up to 150 feet in elevation and you are up around 2200 degrees. No wonder it is next to impossible for the firefighters to get close enough to fight this wildfire. Heres the image from pahrump. You see smoke over the Las Vegas Valley. Some came up and then the wind shifted and it was much clearer. In town looking in that direction off to the west, you hayes hanging over really the entire valley. Again the wind shift not only cleared the sky but it also brought in some waster. Moisture that produced a single hundredth of an inch of rain down near 95. It was really South Henderson that picked up a couple of showers. There at 101 right now, washington manhood 105 and eight percent. Still pretty dry just not as dry as yesterday. Jones and lake mead and the northwest 100 degrees blowing at 10 miles per hour. Temperatures not dipping into double parts of the valley but it certainly goes upward quickly depending on your neck of the cactus traveling east. And i for high on the east side of town and several neighborhood smacking maxing out 107. The mountains at 74, the lake at 106, high temperatures look at laughlin 112, overton 110. At mccarran the mercury maxed out at 107. Five degrees above normal. Inside the car the car thermometer, not actually as hot because of the smoke and the car door. It was parked outside. Tomorrow we start in 80s, work our way to triple digits at lunch time. I think we will peak between 102 and 105. Like today, not much wind in the morning. It does start ramping up in the afternoon and shifts of the south which will bring maybe definitely relief of the clouds and haze but also possibly some moisture. The dividing line between the human air has got much closer to clark county. We did ve henderson. That moved quickly to the east and weekend. Now that with moisture getting close, can rule out the possibility of a few mountain showers over the next couple of days. In town not looking likely. 68 in pahrump, 81 in mesquite for the overnight lows. High temperatures tomorrow, boulder city wanted to, locking up to 109. 77 comfortable degrees on our trust in. In town we are going up to 82 will be after not a 10 00, there is a possibility for a little more smoke in town late tonight and tomorrow morning. I do not expect it to be a stick as what it was this morning because it will not have enough time to get here. Even so it is a huge fire. 105 for your thursday high. We do backtrack toward the weekend 104 and 102. There are hints that more humidity will stream our way next week.
