Sunny mornings in the low 70s are possible in Las Vegas, while the valley is headed for a sunny 97-degree afternoon. The weekend gets one more hot push before clouds, showers and thunderstorms bring a notable cooldown early next week.
Afternoon Heat And Winds Build Through Saturday
Friday will stay sunny, with temperatures climbing to about 97 degrees and south-southwest winds increasing through the afternoon. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas forecasts gusts as high as 20 mph, so outdoor plans may feel hotter and breezier by late day.
Saturday looks similarly warm, with a high near 97 degrees, mostly sunny skies and gusts reaching 22 mph. Saturday night will turn mostly cloudy, with temperatures only falling to around 76 degrees.
Sunday Starts Dry Before Storm Chances Arrive
Sunday brings a modest break from the heat, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 93 degrees. The first shower chance appears late Sunday night, when temperatures drop to around 70 and winds remain breezy.
Monday is the forecast's biggest turn, with a high near 84 degrees and a chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially after the morning. The shift builds on Hoodline's earlier forecast, with the latest outlook now showing a clearer cooldown and higher rain chances.
Cooler, Unsettled Weather Lingers Into Tuesday
Showers and thunderstorms may continue Monday night, when the low is expected to reach about 67 degrees. Tuesday should remain cooler at around 86 degrees, with a slight chance of rain before clearer and warmer weather returns Wednesday and Thursday.
For Friday and Saturday, water, shade and breaks remain sensible choices during the hottest part of the afternoon. Gusty winds could also make lightweight outdoor items worth securing before the weekend heat peaks.
