Las Vegas starts Saturday with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 50s, with sunshine expected to bring the high to around 71 degrees. A leftover breeze may make the morning feel more active, but winds should ease by late morning. Rain is not expected in the valley today.
The dry Saturday gives way to a rain chance early next week. Hoodline's Friday forecast said showers could develop after 4 p.m. Monday, with showers and thunderstorms likely Monday night.
