Las Vegas is starting Halloween under partly sunny skies, with Saturday's high near 72. Rain is possible this afternoon before a wetter stretch arrives overnight. The bigger concern for late-night plans is not an all-day washout, but storms becoming more likely after the costumes are on and the candy is out.
Afternoon Showers Could Interrupt Halloween Plans
The valley has a 20% chance of showers after 1 p.m. Temperatures peak around 72 before slipping later in the afternoon.
For most afternoon plans, the forecast suggests brief or light showers rather than continuous rain. Later, localized downpours could leave water on roads. Drivers should avoid water covering roads.
Storm Chances Rise Saturday Night
Rain chances increase again after 9 p.m., with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms late in the evening. Showers and thunderstorms become likely around midnight, followed by rain into the overnight hours. Hoodline’s earlier forecast put the Saturday-night precipitation chance at 90%, with a low around 62.
The timing could matter for Halloween gatherings that run late. Southerly winds will reach 6 to 13 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph, and cloudy skies are expected. The latest timing is more specific than the earlier Hoodline Halloween forecast, which had already warned that the weekend could turn wet.
Sunday Turns Showery Before A Quick Dry-Out
Hoodline’s earlier forecast called for an 80% chance of rain Sunday, with showers likely before 4 p.m. and a high near 68. After a low near 53 Sunday night, Monday looks sunny and dry near 70.
The forecast points to drying Monday. The unsettled weekend is expected to give way to cooler, calmer conditions early next week, although north winds could be gusty Monday. Check the National Weather Service Las Vegas forecast before heading out, especially if plans extend into Saturday night.
