It's a little early, but Las Vegas temperatures could soon reach 90 degrees for the first time this year.
Temperatures warmed up quite a bit this week, with highs in the 80s on Monday and Tuesday. Channel 13 meteorologists project we'll see near-record temperatures again on Wednesday and Thursday.
Wednesday is expected to be the hottest day this year, with the potential for a high of 90 degrees. That would be three degrees shy of the record temperature for March 26, which was 93 degrees in 2022. It would also be the first time we've reached 90 degrees since October.
Roadways are mostly clear at the time of this report. There are a few surface crashes to watch out for on your morning commute, but no major events to report.
