Hard Freeze Warning For Southern Nevada

The new year is starting on a cool note in Southern Nevada. A hard-freeze warning has been issued for the Las Vegas Valley and southern Clark County beginning at 10 Tuesday night and lasting through 8 a.m. Wednesday. Temperatures could be below freezing for many hours.

The National Weather Service forecasts lows in the upper 20s for Las Vegas, but some areas along the edges could see lows in the upper teens to lower 20s. Southern Clark County and the Pahrump Valley could have lows in the mid-teens to mid-20s.

Pets, potted plants, and of course people should be indoors overnight. Outdoor faucets should be allowed to drip to prevent pipes from freezing.

Jay Bartos joined Nevada Public Radio in 1993 to develop and manage the state’s first radio reading service for people unable to use standard printed material due to blindness or another disability. After the reading service was discontinued in 2011, he became the afternoon host on KNPR for ten years. Jay can now be heard on air on News 88.9 KNPR and Classical 89.7 KCNV throughout the week.
