Las Vegas is trading recent storminess for clear skies and a Wednesday high near 94 degrees, giving the valley a quick return to desert sunshine. The breeze may make the morning feel more active, but the wind is expected to fade as the afternoon wears on.

Windy Start, Calmer Afternoon

Wednesday will stay sunny, with northwest winds ranging from 5 to 18 mph and gusts reaching up to 29 mph before easing later in the day. The National Weather Service expects winds to become lighter by the afternoon and remain mostly calm overnight, with a low around 71.

Heat Builds Through The Weekend

Thursday will bring another sunny day with a high near 95, followed by highs around 96 from Friday through Sunday. Overnight temperatures will stay relatively mild for the season, dipping only into the low to mid-70s.

The forecast remains dry through the weekend, with no meaningful rain chances expected. Monday should reach about 94 degrees, while Tuesday climbs back near 95, so anyone planning outdoor time should prepare for plenty of sun, low humidity and limited shade relief during the hottest part of the day.
