Las Vegas is getting a rare September weather shift, with rain and thunderstorms possible today and tomorrow as temperatures fall into the low 90s, according to KLAS.

The Review-Journal reported that thunderstorms were already popping up across parts of the valley Monday afternoon, with radar showing fast-moving cells affecting portions of the area. In a region where dry heat usually dominates the forecast, even brief storm activity changes the rhythm of the day.
