Las Vegas started on Tuesday with clear skies and dry air. Early-morning temperatures were around 52°F. Highs are expected to reach the mid-70s in the afternoon, with overnight lows in the upper 40s. Gusty north winds are forecast along the Lower Colorado River Valley, which may create choppy water near Laughlin and Lake Mohave.
Afternoon Sun And Mild Temperatures
Expect a sunny, mostly calm day across Las Vegas, with a high near 75°F on Tuesday and similar warmth on Wednesday before a modest cooldown later in the week, according to the National Weather Service Las Vegas. Humidity will stay low and winds light in the valley, making it a solid stretch for outdoor plans. Overnight lows should hold in the upper 40s to low 50s.
River Valley Gusts And Boating Impacts
Northerly winds will pick up in the Lower Colorado River Valley, with conditions most intense near Laughlin and along Lake Mohave. Gusts could reach the upper 20s to around 40 mph, producing wave heights of 1–3 feet on area lakes. Boaters and small-craft operators are advised to secure loose gear and avoid long, exposed runs this afternoon and Wednesday when winds peak. Local marinas and recreationists should plan on choppy conditions through Wednesday evening.
Weekend Shift And Slight Rain Chance
The ridge of high pressure is expected to start flattening by Friday, February 6, 2026, which will bring a gradual cooling trend and increasing cloud cover into the weekend. That pattern change could squeeze out some light rain or sprinkles mainly along and south of I-15 by Sunday into Monday, though details remain uncertain. We covered the warm-up earlier this week for additional context.
Plan Ahead
Most plans around Las Vegas this week can count on mild, dry weather, but anyone heading to Laughlin or Lake Mohave should be ready for rougher water and secure smaller boats. Those with river trips or outdoor events later in the week should keep an eye on updates from the National Weather Service in case the weekend clouds and slight rain chances shift.
