  1. This week may have brought an end to the Las Vegas Valley’s second-longest dry streak in recorded history, but don’t expect the light mist to reverse the region’s drought.

    Almost all of Clark County remains under “extreme” drought conditions, with the northwestern corner under even more intense “exceptional” drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Nearly 60 percent of Nevada is experiencing at least minimal drought as of the most recent update.

    “A recent storm and an ongoing atmospheric river are bringing much needed precipitation to central and southern California and Nevada,” meteorologists wrote in a Thursday report for the National Integrated Drought Information System. “This will mitigate some of the most acute drought impacts, but drought conditions will remain.”

  3. How many times does extreme drought need to be said in the title ?
