Las Vegas starts Thursday, November 5, 2026, clear and cool, with temperatures in the low 50s before a mostly sunny afternoon reaches near 70. By late Thursday morning, it was clear and 63 degrees at North Las Vegas Airport. The bigger change arrives Friday and Saturday, when north winds strengthen across the region even as the valley warms into the low-to-mid 70s. The National Weather Service forecast and observation.
Thursday Stays Dry And Mild
Thursday afternoon will be mostly sunny with light valley winds, and temperatures should peak near 70 before easing into the mid-60s late in the day. Rain is not expected, while Thursday night turns mostly clear with a low around 55. The updated point forecast.
The updated outlook adds a sharper wind story to Hoodline’s earlier forecast. For most Las Vegas neighborhoods, Friday will be sunny and warmer, with a high near 74, north-northeast winds of 13 to 17 mph and gusts reaching 24 mph. The National Weather Service’s Las Vegas point forecast.
Winds Pick Up Outside The Valley
Stronger north winds are expected Friday and Saturday. Across most of the region, Friday winds may reach 15 to 25 mph, with gusts of 25 to 30 mph; along the Colorado River Valley, gusts could reach 40 mph Friday and ease to around 30 mph Saturday. The latest forecast discussion gives the updated wind timing and speeds.
The wind increase is tied to a developing low-pressure system over western Arizona, which tightens pressure differences across the region. Terrain along the Colorado River funnels the north winds, helping gusts reach their highest levels near Lake Mohave on Friday. Winds are expected to ease Saturday and drop off more significantly by Sunday, while high pressure brings lighter winds and a warming trend early next week. The Las Vegas forecast discussion describes the pattern.
A Lake Wind Advisory is in effect from 4 a.m. Friday to 4 p.m. Saturday for Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu, not the Las Vegas Valley. The National Weather Service expects waves of 2 to 3 feet on both lakes and warns that strong winds and rough water could create hazardous conditions for small craft; high-profile vehicles may also be harder to handle in strong crosswinds. The advisory covers the lakes and nearby river communities.
The north winds are expected to continue through Saturday, making for a breezier end to the week.
Sunny 70s Continue Into Veterans Day
Saturday and Sunday bring sunny skies and highs near 75, followed by another sunny 75-degree day Monday. Sunny conditions continue Tuesday, November 10, with a high near 76. Veterans Day falls Wednesday, November 11, with sunny skies and a high near 77. The National Weather Service’s extended forecast.
Overnight lows range from around 54 to 58 through Tuesday, so early-morning plans will still call for a light layer even as afternoons turn comfortably warm. The forecast remains dry through Tuesday, with valley winds easing after the Friday-Saturday bump. The updated Las Vegas forecast.
