Snow levels remain low at 3,500 to 4,000 feet, continuing heavy snow across mountain areas. In the Las Vegas Valley, there is a chance for snow flurries early Wednesday morning before conditions improve.
Wind gusts will remain strong at 45 to 55 mph through early Wednesday morning, creating hazardous conditions on roadways. Slick, wet roads, ponding of water, and water flowing in normally dry washes are all possible. Localized minor flooding cannot be ruled out in low-lying areas.
