For the first time in more than a month, rain fell overnight in Clark County.
The official measurement of 0.04 inch, as reported at Pearson Field, hardly makes a dent in what has been a dry, hot stretch of days, but it did freshen the air and perk up the spirits of many local residents.
It’s likely the last rain we will see for a while, though there is a chance of sprinkles tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
Perhaps the truly good news in the forecast is that the scorching series of 90-degree-plus days is not forecast to return anytime this week.
