In viewing the radar, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said it looked like there were two storms over the Vegas area: one north of the city (that was actual rain) and another right over Las Vegas. "It looked as though it should be torrentially downpouring in Las Vegas," said Chinchar. The National Weather Service office in Las Vegas said in a tweet Saturday that people have been asking about "the widespread radar returns" in the city over the past few nights. Las Vegas, like all of Nevada, has had almost twice as much rain in 2019 than normal, Chinchar said.
