Event narrative (NOAA)
A dry cold front pushed through the Las Vegas valley with winds gusting to over 50 mph. A Las Vegas man was killed when strong winds blew his motorcycle into a center concrete median. The motorcycle then struck a light pole throwing the man from his bike killing him instantly. Strong winds over the southern part of the valley blew down power lines which started a fire inside a horse corral, killing three horses. Around town, several trees were snapped and power lines were downed along with a few homes reporting significant roof damage.
