Wind Advisory for Las Vegas and Southern Nevada

A wind advisory was issues for Southern Nevada early this morning. According the the website I checked we can expect winds between 25 to 35 miles per hour with gust up to 45 mph. I haven't looked outside yet so I don't know how strong the wind is my my neighborhood. I plan to take a walk later this morning or early this afternoon. I suppose I'll have to wear a wind breaker and a hat.

I have two or three baseball type hats I can were, but only one of them fits me well enough to wear it in the wind. Since I use a walker I can't chase my hat if it blows off my head. Perhaps I should put my hair in a pony tail. When I watched the channel three news yesterday one of the anchors suggested that people with long hair put their hair up in a pony tail. That would prevent my hair from blowing in my face and I wouldn't have to wear a hat.

Flash Flood Warning in Southern Nevada

I watched as the day darkened. Clouds moved in from the west slowly covering the blue afternoon sky. I turned on the television and switched to the Weather Channel. I listened to the flash flood warning, not sure, where it was raining. I knew that, besides Las Vegas, the warning covered the Carpenter 1 burn area, which was somewhere around Mount Charleston.

Since it was not raining in my neighborhood, I decided to take some newspapers to the garage. After putting the newspapers in the white recyclable bin, I stood looking at the sky. There was a patch of blue over the eastern mountains, but to the west dark clouds covered the entire sky. I went back into the house to get some more recyclable for the red container.

I was not in the house for more then five or ten minutes; however, when I got back outside the patch of blue to the east has shrunk. I came back into the house because I wanted to write this entry. I checked the thermostat because before I took the papers out, the thermostat read 85 degrees. In the short time it took me, to take the recyclables to the garage the temperature inside had dropped two degrees. I could now turn on the computer and write this entry.

As I look outside, I can see that the clouds have moved farther east. I do not know if it is going to rain in this neighborhood, but that is possible. Therefore, I will post this now before I hear thunder or see lighting. I am glad I am not on Mount Charleston today or anywhere that it may be flooding. The best in Las Vegas to be when there is a Flash Flood warning is in your house or hotel room.
