Las Vegas and the broader Western U.S. are expected to experience dry weather and mild temperatures in the coming days. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas reports that this is due to a high-pressure system caused by a Rex Block pattern. With little moisture, the weather conditions are likely to continue through the weekend and into next week.

The short-term forecast indicates warmer temperatures than usual through Saturday, with breezy conditions in the Colorado River Valley. Winds could reach 40 mph early next week, especially near Laughlin and Needles. Starting Sunday, temperatures will cool as an upper-level trough pushes the current ridge southward, bringing conditions closer to normal. By Monday and Tuesday, temperatures on the outskirts of Las Vegas may dip near freezing in the early morning, according to the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued a forecast for the region, advising that Harry Reid International Airport should experience light winds, mainly under 8 knots, similar to previous days. While flights above the region will have smooth conditions, those flying over the Colorado River Valley may encounter winds up to 20 knots during the daytime, easing in the evening. Skies will be mostly clear with occasional high clouds. Residents and local authorities are reminded that "spotters are encouraged to report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures."
