Las Vegas will be sunny and pleasant on Friday with highs near 69°F, light north-northwest breezes around 7 mph, and a clear, cool evening low near 45°F—great for outdoor plans—before a stronger system arrives early next week that may change the weather on Monday and Tuesday.
Afternoon and Tonight
Through the afternoon, look for wall-to-wall sun with temperatures topping out near 69°F and winds generally under 10 mph. Tonight remains clear with a low around 45°F and light west-northwest breezes near 2–6 mph, with a few spots edging back into the upper 40s overnight. Humidity stays low, so the evening drive should be dry, calm and largely hassle-free.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday and Sunday hold on to the calm pattern, staying mostly dry and mild with highs close to 70°F and light winds that gradually swing from the east to the southeast. By Sunday, southerly breezes start to pick up as a trough approaches, which will begin pulling moisture into the higher terrain. That warm, calm stretch was already flagged in an earlier forecast, as per Hoodline.
Monday–Tuesday System
A stronger storm moves in on Monday, Washington's Birthday, February 16, 2026, bringing rain showers after about 10 a.m. and unsettled weather that hangs on into Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The National Weather Service is calling for heavy mountain snow and widespread gusts of 30–40+ mph, conditions that could make boating hazardous on area lakes and turn east–west routes into a tough drive. Snow levels should start around 6,000–7,000 feet Monday and drop overnight into Tuesday, which raises the risk for winter driving issues in the high country. For the latest details, keep an eye on the National Weather Service.
Impacts And Advice
Drivers should be ready for slick roads and brief ponding in low spots during heavier showers, and it is a good idea to secure loose outdoor items before southerly winds ramp up Sunday night. Boaters should avoid taking small craft out on Lake Mead and other local lakes while winds are gusty Monday and Tuesday, and anyone heading into the mountains should check road conditions and plan on extra travel time. Updates will follow if watches or warnings are issued, so stay plugged into local forecasts through the holiday weekend.
