Las Vegas is waking Friday, November 13, under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 59 degrees, but the calm start will not last. The valley is headed for a partly sunny afternoon near 74, followed by stronger southerly winds and a more unsettled stretch next week.
Friday Turns Breezy By Afternoon
Winds should build from the south through midday, reaching roughly 20 to 21 mph in the afternoon with gusts near 29 mph. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas says the strongest winds will favor higher elevations and parts of the eastern region, while the western valley may avoid the worst conditions.
Friday night brings a low near 55 and a 20% chance of showers, mainly between 9 p.m. and midnight. Rain is not expected to be a major valley event, but showers and snow will develop over nearby mountains, so drivers heading out of town may see changing conditions.
Weekend Cooldown Follows
Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 71, though leftover west-northwest winds could gust to about 23 mph. Saturday night drops to around 49, and Sunday looks calmer and mostly sunny with a high near 68—good patio weather, assuming your patio furniture survives Friday.
Rain Chances Return Monday And Tuesday
Monday starts partly sunny with a high near 68, then showers become possible after 4 p.m. Monday night, showers and thunderstorms are likely, and Tuesday stays cooler with a chance of showers and a high near 62.
The shift is a meaningful update from Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which described Friday as mostly sunny with generally light winds. The latest outlook now points to stronger winds Friday night, a quieter Sunday and the best valley rain chances from Monday night into Tuesday.
What To Watch
For Friday plans, secure loose outdoor items and use extra caution with high-profile vehicles, especially during the afternoon and overnight wind increase. The most unsettled period for the city appears to be Monday evening through Tuesday, while Wednesday turns mostly sunny again with a high near 63.
