LAS VEGAS — Wednesday is breezy with southwest gusts of 25 mph this afternoon as highs reach the upper 60s along mostly sunny and dry conditions. Clouds gather this evening and tonight (lows near 50°) and deliver a 10% chance of showers as low pressure swirls from Southern California to Arizona. The chance is a bit higher in southern Clark County for Searchlight and Laughlin.
Thursday sees highs in the mid 60s, northwest breezes at 10-20 mph, and a 20% chance of showers in Las Vegas from late morning through evening. North winds pick up as the system departs on Friday, so plan on daytime gusts of 20-30 mph, a sunny sky, and highs in the mid 60s.
The weekend looks great with mid 60s Saturday and low 70s Sunday with a mix of clouds and sun and gusts capped at 15 mph. Nighttime lows will be in the 40s across the weekend. A reminder that we "spring forward" Saturday night, losing an hour of sleep, but beginning Sunday sunrise will be near 7:00 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m., and sunset will be closer to 7:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m. as we enter"Daylight Saving Time."
Mild air continues into early next week, with low 70s again on Monday and Tuesday as breezes range from 10-15 mph alongside dry conditions.
