On Friday, October 12th, 2025, a flash flood warning was issued for Las Vegas until 8:45 PM, as the city experienced heavy rainfall and strong winds. The warning covered areas including Mountain's Edge, Enterprise, Southern Highlands, and Spring Valley, with the potential for over half an inch of rain and wind gusts exceeding 40 mph.
A water rescue effort took place near the intersection of Flamingo and Paradise roads, leading to some lane closures along Hard Rock Road. Flooding was also reported in other parts of the city, including along Boulder Highway and Lake Mead.
The severe weather conditions forced the cancellation of several local events, including the Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival and the Pride Parade in Las Vegas. Tickets for the Renaissance Festival that were not used on Friday will be valid for Saturday or Sunday.
Despite the challenging conditions, residents in the area, particularly in the Henderson region, shared photos and videos of the heavy downpour and pooling water outside their homes.
