Las Vegas woke up on Thursday, February 5, 2026, to clear skies, a crisp pre-dawn low of about 46°F at 5:40 a.m. PST, and the promise of another jackpot day for anyone with outdoor plans. Afternoon temperatures are expected to climb into the low 70s, a sweet spot that keeps things warm without sending you scrambling for the nearest air conditioner.
Today's Forecast
The sky should stay sunny through the day, with a high near 74°F and temperatures easing to around 71°F by late afternoon. North winds are expected to stay on the gentle side at about 6 mph. Tonight, clouds increase a bit with mostly cloudy skies and a low near 52°F, with some spots holding in the mid-50s overnight. These details come from the National Weather Service forecast for the Las Vegas area, available at NWS Las Vegas.
Weekend Outlook
A weak low passing south of the region could squeeze out a few brief, isolated showers on Friday over the Spring Mountains and parts of the western Mojave. Most valley neighborhoods, though, are expected to stay dry. By Saturday and Sunday, skies return to mostly sunny, with highs around 74 to 75°F and light north winds, which should make for a comfortable desert weekend.
Early Next Week
Forecasters are tracking a pattern change for early next week that may bring cooler, more unsettled weather and isolated showers from Tuesday into Wednesday. Highs are expected to slide into the mid-60s by midweek. Timing and rainfall amounts are still on the uncertain side, so checking updated forecasts before locking in outdoor plans is a good idea, according to the National Weather Service at NWS Las Vegas.
What To Expect And How To Plan
Conditions today are generally favorable for outdoor activities across the valley. Boaters along the Colorado River corridor should be ready for terrain-enhanced gusts this afternoon that can make handling smaller craft a bit challenging. If you are flying, VFR conditions are expected at Harry Reid International, although it is still wise to check airport notices and flight information at Harry Reid International Airport before heading to the terminal.
