Isolated to scattered showers and storms are possible over the region as early as Tuesday afternoon, before showers and thunderstorms become the week's main weather story, especially Wednesday night and Thursday.
Possible Tuesday Showers, Then A Growing Storm Chance
Isolated to scattered showers and storms are possible over the region Tuesday, with precipitation possible as early as afternoon. Winds should follow typical daily directional patterns, becoming southeasterly around 8 knots that afternoon. Wednesday remains mostly sunny at first, but a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops from around noon through the afternoon and evening, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph.
Wednesday night brings a sharper turn, with showers and thunderstorms likely and an 80% chance of precipitation. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas points to Thursday as the period with the best potential for widespread precipitation, according to its forecast discussion.
Cooler, Drier Weekend Ahead
Thursday night gives way to lingering shower chances Friday, with temperatures near 70. Saturday and Sunday should stay sunny in the low 70s, while overnight lows dip into the mid-to-upper 50s.
The shift is a notable update from Hoodline's Monday outlook: precipitation could begin as early as Tuesday afternoon, while the strongest rain and thunderstorm odds have consolidated around Wednesday night and Thursday. Outdoor plans should be easiest from Friday through Sunday; for Thursday, keep plans flexible and head indoors if thunder moves in.
