Las Vegas is starting Sunday clear and already around 88 degrees, with the valley headed for another triple-digit afternoon. The high should reach about 102, while south-southwest winds of 10 to 16 mph could gust to 28 mph, adding a dusty edge to the heat for anyone spending time outside.

Sunday Stays Sunny, Dry And Breezy

Showers are almost a nonfactor Sunday, with just a 1% chance of rain in the Las Vegas forecast. Temperatures climb from the mid-80s during the morning to around 100 by noon, peaking near 101 to 102 during the afternoon before easing slightly in the evening.

The National Weather Service expects the south-southwest breeze to continue through the afternoon and early evening, with gusts weakening after sunset. No weather alerts are listed in the latest forecast update, but triple-digit heat still calls for frequent water breaks and limited time in direct sun.

Monday Adds A Brief Storm Chance

Monday brings a small change in the pattern, with the high falling to around 98 and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 3 and 4 p.m. The rain chance is only 10%, so most of the valley should remain dry, but outdoor plans may want a quick sky check later in the afternoon.

Cooler Midweek Before Another Warmup

Tuesday through Thursday look like the most noticeable relief, with highs of 97, 96 and 98 and overnight lows in the mid-70s. Friday rebounds to around 100, while Saturday stays near 99 and carries a 22% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11 a.m.

The latest outlook updates Saturday's forecast with a clearer week-ahead picture: Sunday is the hottest day in the immediate stretch, Monday may bring a brief storm chance, and midweek should be several degrees easier. The breeze may make the morning feel more tolerable, but it will not erase the afternoon heat.
