Break out the boots and umbrellas: Las Vegas likely will see rain, and possibly even some snow, when a winter storm rolls in on Monday, according to the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n
There is a 50 percent chance of rain on Monday afternoon with a high of 53 degrees, and the western valley could possibly see graupel, or snow pellets, meteorologist Andy Gorelow said.<\/p>\n
Mount Charleston, which got about an inch of snow on Sunday, will likely see a few inches during the storm.<\/p>\n
The system is coming off the Pacific, and when they come that way instead of from the West they usually bring a bit more precipitations, Gorelow said. Itll definitely be enough to bring a few inches on the mountain.<\/p>\n
The rainfall in the valley would likely begin midday Monday and continue through the evening, Gorelow said. The storm should clear out by Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
High temperatures are expected to stay in the low 50s throughout the week. Tuesday has a forecast high of 53 and will be mostly sunny; Wednesday will be 52 and sunny; Thursday will be 53 and partly cloudy; and Friday will be 55 and sunny, Gorelow said.<\/p>\n
