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.
Our high temperatures will push into the low 60s in the afternoon hours - a few degrees above average for Monday
The main weather story will really be the wind with northerly wind speeds picking up early Tuesday. By the afternoon we'll see speeds upwards of 25mph in Las Vegas. A High Wind Warning has been issued for the Colorado River Valley and we'll see gusts of 45-60mph in this area.
In Henderson, work begins at the intersection of Via Inspirada and Bicentennial Parkway. Lanes will be reduced, and work is expected to be finished this summer.
As a general reminder to drivers in the valley heading out this morning, students in the Clark County School District return from winter break, meaning a lot more people will be on the roads early today than have been over the past two weeks. Be aware of any children crossing in your neighborhoods and stop for school buses picking up or dropping off students.
