Mount Charleston saw a rare may snowfall on Tuesday, as lightning flashed and thunderstorms pelted parts of the Las Vegas Valley. The National Weather Service said it will not have a total measurement for Tuesday’s snowfall until Wednesday morning. Over the last 30 years, more than 5 inches of snow has accumulated on Mount Charleston just six times during the month of May, meteorologist Ashley Wolf said. “We might get close to that,” Wolf said Tuesday. <br /> Mount Charleston's record for snow in May was 10 inches, which all fell on May 7, 1986, meteorologist Chelsea Kryston said. <br /> <br /> The snowfall record for May 1 is 3 inches, measured in 1983, according to Kryston.
