Monsoon Storm Rolls Through Lake Havasu City

Every summer, some Lake Havasu City locals hope for monsoon storms to roll through to bring the rain to the  desert. Thursday evening, they got their wish.

At 4:15 p.m., a small cell dropped rain over Crossman’s Peak  and The Foothills. Then around 5 p.m., a shelf cloud rolled into the Lake Havasu City area. The temperature was 100 degrees.

According to Las Vegas National Weather Service, the Lake Havasu Airport had a reading of 59 mph wind gusts at 5:30 p.m. and at 5:55 p.m., the temperature had dropped to 75 degrees.

Trees were reported down on McCulloch Boulevard, and minor flooding at downtown intersections because of  the storm.

There is another chance for a storm in Lake Havasu around 10 p.m., tonight with potential wind gusts up to 60 mph.
