KTNV — Before you head out the door and get your day started, we wanted to let you know about the cooler temperatures ahead today. We also wanted to let you know about a major traffic update ahead of a busy weekend of events around the Las Vegas Strip.
Friday is quite cool for April. Las Vegas wakes up to the low and mid-50s with light northwest winds at 5-15 mph around sunrise.
Daytime highs only reach the upper 60s as northwest winds blow at 15-25 mph from late morning through the afternoon.
There's a small 10% chance of a shower alongside a partly cloudy sky toward late morning and the afternoon.
NDOT will open I-15 off-ramp near T-Mobile Arena ahead of busy weekend in Las Vegas
It's a big weekend in Las Vegas, with two major events set to take place on the Strip–WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday and Sunday, and the first game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Sunday night at T-Mobile Arena.
With so much going on, getting around the resort corridor this weekend could be a nightmare, but the Nevada Department of Transportation is hoping to make it easier for wrestling and hockey fans alike.
Friday morning at 5 a.m., NDOT opened the off-ramp from the northbound I-15 to Frank Sinatra Drive and Arena Drive west of the Strip as part of ongoing work on the I-15/Tropicana Project, which should–in theory–make access to events at T-Mobile Arena this weekend smoother.
