Saturday is forecast to be sunny, with a high near 76 degrees and a noticeably breezy afternoon.

Afternoon Winds Will Be The Main Event

The National Weather Service forecasts a high near 76 degrees Saturday, with north-northwest winds between 7 and 21 mph and gusts reaching 30 mph.

How Saturday's Gusts Compare

A separate National Weather Service Las Vegas climate report records a 55-mph gust on Sept. 21, 2026, stronger than the gusts of up to 30 mph forecast for Saturday. That single September observation does not establish how common spring days with gusts of 30 mph or more are.

Advisory Applies Outside the Valley

The cited National Weather Service details do not specify a wind-advisory threshold for the Las Vegas Valley. Separately, the National Weather Service Las Vegas office said a Wind Advisory for Death Valley National Park would remain in effect until 11 a.m. Saturday, with north winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph.

The latest outlook is a substantive shift from Friday’s quieter setup, with Saturday’s forecast now warmer and windier than previously expected. Lightweight patio furniture, poolside umbrellas and anything else that treats a 30-mph gust like a personal challenge may need to be secured.

Sunny Stretch Takes Over Sunday

Winds ease Saturday night, with mostly clear skies and a low around 57 degrees. Sunday brings another sunny day with a high near 76 and only a light northeast breeze.

The mild pattern continues Monday and Tuesday, with highs near 77 and 79 degrees, respectively, and overnight lows in the upper 50s. Wednesday is forecast to be partly cloudy, followed by mostly cloudy skies Thursday.

A Breezy Saturday, Not A Stormy One

For Las Vegas residents, Saturday looks like a good day for sunshine with a little extra attention to outdoor setups and exposed driving routes. The stronger weather concerns in the broader region are expected outside the city, while the valley settles into a dry, seasonable stretch through most of next week.
