Las Vegas is set for warmer-than-usual weather, with the National Weather Service reporting "above-normal temperatures, sunny skies, and generally light winds expected across the forecast area into next week." A high-pressure system to the west and a low-pressure trough to the east are driving this warming trend, according to the National Weather Service.
While most areas will enjoy gentle breezes, the Colorado River Valley will face stronger winds, with "Gusty north winds peaking between 25 and 35 mph each afternoon through Saturday." This is expected to create higher waves, particularly near Lake Mohave, where water could reach 2 to 3 feet, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Winds at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport are expected to "remain light and follow typical, daily patterns through Friday," with a "Chance of seeing 10+ knots is less than 10%." Skies will mostly be clear, but the "exception continues to be the lower Colorado River Valley where gusts of 20-30 knots are likely (70%)." Sunday may bring "a brief period of lighter winds" before stronger gusts return on Monday, as stated by the National Weather Service.
