Las Vegas is waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-50s Friday, with a sunny afternoon ahead and a high near 69 degrees. The valley gets a brief break from unsettled weather before north winds pick up Friday night and turn noticeably gustier Saturday.
The updated outlook is a clear retreat from the stormier setup discussed Thursday. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas calls for nearly no rain in the city through the week, while Hoodline’s earlier forecast had showers and thunderstorms in play.
Friday Stays Sunny Before Winds Return
Friday should remain sunny from morning through late afternoon, with light north-northeast winds around 5 mph. Temperatures will ease after sunset, but the night will not stay completely calm.
Friday night will be mostly clear, with a low near 58 degrees and north-northwest winds ranging from 3 to 20 mph. Gusts could reach 29 mph overnight, making the evening breezier than the quiet daytime forecast suggests.
Saturday Brings The Week’s Strongest Gusts
Saturday is forecast to be sunny and warmer, reaching about 72 degrees. North winds may make conditions breezy, so outdoor setups, lightweight patio items and exposed driving routes may need extra attention.
Calmer Weather Settles In Next Week
Sunday stays sunny with a high near 73, followed by highs around 75 Monday and Tuesday under mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will range from the low 50s to around 60, keeping mornings cool even as afternoons warm back up.
Wednesday should be dry and seasonable, with a high near 75 degrees. Thursday is forecast to be partly cloudy, with highs of 71 to 75 degrees on the west side and 74 to 78 on the east side.
