Las Vegas starts Labor Day clear and near 70 degrees, but the valley is heading into a sharp late-week heat surge. Monday’s high should reach 95, followed by 99 Tuesday and triple-digit temperatures from Wednesday through Saturday.
Sunny Monday Brings Afternoon Winds
Monday will stay sunny and dry with no rain expected. West winds will range from 1 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph, as temperatures climb to the mid-90s by late afternoon.
Heat Peaks Thursday And Friday
The heat ramps up quickly, reaching 105 degrees Wednesday and peaking near 107 Thursday before easing slightly to 106 Friday. The National Weather Service says heat risk could reach major levels in desert valleys Thursday and Friday.
Dry Weather Holds Through The Weekend
Saturday should remain sunny with a high near 102, while Sunday cools to about 99. The broader region may also see stronger south-to-southwest winds late in the week, a notable change from the stormier holiday-weekend setup reported by Hoodline on Sunday.
Outdoor Plans May Need An Early Start
Overnight temperatures will offer limited relief, with lows in the low to mid-80s through Friday. Anyone spending time outdoors should plan strenuous activities for the morning, drink plenty of water and take regular breaks in shade or air conditioning, especially as the valley moves into its hottest stretch later this week.
