(KTNV) - Here at Channel 13 Las Vegas, we want to make sure you start your day off on the right foot, informed about weather, traffic, the latest news and more.
What's the weather for today?
We are starting the day with many parts of the valley in the 40s with some clouds in the area, which cools us down a little Tuesday when compared to the highs expected for the rest of the week.
Any traffic issues to worry about?
Drivers in the south part of the valley may need to find a different way to access Interstate 15 this week.
The on-ramp from St. Rose Parkway to southbound I-15 will be closed daily from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. through Friday. NDOT says drivers should use the Starr Avenue on-ramp to get around that closure.
NDOT is also warning commuters of overnight closures coming to both directions of the interstate later this week. The southbound lanes of I-15 will be closed from Flamingo to Russell beginning at 9 p.m. Tuesday and lasting until 5 a.m. Wednesday.
Then starting at 9 p.m. Wednesday, the northbound lanes will be closed from Russell to Tropicana until 5 a.m. Thursday.
