Las Vegas wakes to clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s Monday, with a sunny afternoon expected to reach about 81 degrees. The calm, dry stretch is expected to hold through Tuesday morning, though precipitation could start as early as Tuesday afternoon, as a much wetter and cooler weather pattern moves into the valley.
Sunshine Holds Through Tuesday
Monday will stay sunny with light winds. Tuesday temperatures are expected to be near normal, with precipitation possible as early as Tuesday afternoon.
Midweek Turns Wet And Windy
Clouds and rain chances increase Wednesday, when showers could arrive before afternoon thunderstorms become possible later in the day. Rain chances continue Wednesday night, and gusty winds could become a bigger issue across the region, with widespread gusts of 25 to 35 mph and isolated stronger gusts possible, according to the National Weather Service.
Precipitation chances are widespread across Las Vegas through much of Thursday. Temperatures will be cooler than normal.
Cooler, Drier Weekend Ahead
The storm system should move out Thursday night or Friday, bringing sunny and quieter conditions back to the valley. Friday and Saturday will top out near 70 degrees, while Sunday warms slightly to about 72, with overnight lows staying in the mid-50s.
For Monday and Tuesday, light layers and sunglasses should do the job. Anyone with outdoor plans later in the week may want to keep a rain jacket handy and prepare for a sharp temperature drop after the midweek storms move through.
