“The 00z Canadian Regional shows local amounts of towards 10”, which would be exceeding rare for the region from a tropical cyclone, potentially unique for Nevada…Some locations within this arid region are slated to get 1-2 years worth of rain in one day. If a 7″+ maximum materialized over Mount Charleston Sunday into early Monday, it would challenge Nevada’s 24 hour rainfall record, set in 2004….Debris flows and rock slides are a given considering the volume of rainfall expected. The overall combination of effects could block and undermine roads, particularly sensitive areas such as sections of U.S. 50 in NV. Towns could get cut off.

Heavy rain in Death Valley and currently rising to 0.39 IN from 0.11 IN a hour ago.  Very cool temps at 23C but they do midnight to midnight reset temps so today max would be 29.4C 85F just after midnight, cannot be max at 23C or 24C but will classed as minimum instead which so far 22C the lowest so far.  If drop to 19C that would be considered coolest or even cold record for Death Valley, not sure if 19C ever reached in August as they only appear from late October onward to Spring for night time minimums.

oo-er! But to be fair there's no vegetation to trap the rain, so it will run off as flash floods plus the occasional mudslide.

Moderate to heavy rain tonight for Death Valley currently at 11pm 1.68 in before the reset with max temps 29C 85F and min 22C 71F.  

The radar show like a bit of pivoting which Death Valley are in the meddle and still more rain to come  so likely to top 2 or 3 inches by the end.

I wonder how the flat salt lake would become a real lakes now.

Fully updated stats for Furnace Creek.   Temperatures was 28C 82F and 22C 71F at night.  Rainfall reached 2.20 inches that 55.88mm of rain fell so that impressive and very interesting to see this happen in August.  Plus no 50C 122F reached this month so that unusual for August only reached 49C 120F one day.

Have not researched the incidence of flooding there, but I don't think its particularly rare?

Lot of rain and thunderstorms striking northern Cyprus including Nicosia for the first time to see rain falling in a summer month.  There was rain in some places yesterday and in Nicosia and today as well in other places.  Rain at night normally start from October to May but not from June to Sept.   Very interesting month from 45.2C to thunderstorms.  How I wish I was there with top of the range weather station as there seem so much variety and interesting weather events while UK climate gone dead boring like this year.
