Thursday, May 28, starts off clear and comfortable across the Las Vegas Valley, with morning temperatures sitting in the mid 60s to mid 70s and an afternoon high expected near 83°F. South-southeast breezes will increase later in the day, keeping things dry rather than sticky. It stays rain-free today, but a faster warm up is lining up for the weekend and early next week.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
South-southeast winds around 7 to 15 mph are expected to gust into the 20 to 25 mph range this afternoon, with the usual wind-prone corridors seeing the strongest bursts. Tie down or move any loose patio furniture, and use extra caution if you are driving a high-profile vehicle during the evening commute. Forecast timing and gust guidance come from NWS Las Vegas.
Weekend Warmup And Next Week
Temperatures climb quickly: Saturday, May 30 should top out near 90°F, Sunday, May 31 around 95°F, and Monday, June 1 is forecast near 100°F, with 102 to 104°F possible Tuesday and Wednesday (June 2 to 3). Expect lighter winds and very low precipitation chances as the region settles into a warmer, more stable pattern.
Plan ahead by avoiding strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest hours Monday through Wednesday, drinking plenty of water, and checking on people who may not have reliable cooling. Clark County operates daytime cooling stations during extreme heat events, and residents can call 2-1-1 or visit the county site for locations and hours, according to Clark County.
