Las Vegas is waking up to clear skies Wednesday, with temperatures in the mid-50s before a sunny afternoon near 71 degrees. The dry, mild pattern will stick around for days, though northerly winds are expected to pick up heading into the weekend.
Sunny Wednesday, Mild Thursday
Wednesday should stay sunny with light north winds and no chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas. Temperatures will ease back into the low 50s Wednesday night before Thursday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 70.
Weekend Warm-Up Comes With A Windy Footnote
Friday and Saturday could bring north winds gusting between 15 and 25 mph across the region, while the Colorado River Valley may see stronger winds of 30 to 40 mph and rougher conditions on nearby lakes.
Quiet Stretch Through Tuesday
Southern Nevada should see highs near 73 degrees Sunday and 74 on Monday and Tuesday. Overnight lows will gradually rise from the low 50s into the upper 50s, and no rain is expected during the forecast period.
For Las Vegas residents, the forecast favors outdoor plans, but layers will still be useful for chilly mornings and evenings. The main weather wrinkle is the Friday-through-Saturday wind, especially for anyone driving high-profile vehicles or spending time near the Colorado River.
