Las Vegas is starting Friday under clear skies and gusty northeast winds, with temperatures around 68 degrees early and a high near 82. The strongest breezes are arriving during the morning, when gusts can reach around 30 mph, before easing through the afternoon. It is a bright, dry day, but drivers and anyone with loose outdoor items should take the wind seriously.
Morning Winds Are The Main Concern
A Wind Advisory remains in effect for Las Vegas until 11 a.m. Friday. Northeast-to-east winds are expected, with morning gusts up to 32 mph. By late afternoon, gusts may reach 25 to 35 mph. High-profile vehicles may be more difficult to handle on exposed roads during the morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Calmer Weekend, Cooler Nights
Friday night will be mostly clear with a low near 63, followed by a mostly sunny Saturday with a high around 80. Sunday should stay sunny and near 80, while Monday reaches about 81 with lighter winds. The shift will be noticeable after Friday's bluster, building on the earlier Hoodline forecast while extending the calmer outlook into the weekend.
Rain Chances Return Tuesday
Showers return to the forecast Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday carry widespread precipitation chances of 30% to 40%, with Wednesday's high dropping to around 71; Thursday stays cooler near 70 with another chance of showers. Forecasters say the exact timing and impacts remain uncertain, so midweek outdoor plans may need a backup option.
