Lows tonight dip to the mid 40s under a partly cloudy sky.

North breezes at 10-20 mph on Tuesday will yield a cooler feel as readings begin in the 40s and reach the mid 60s under a mostly sunny sky.

Laughlin sees north gusts of 40 mph on Tuesday.

Wednesday sees more clouds than sun, south breezes at 5-15 mph, and temperatures that climb from the 40s at daybreak back to the upper 60s in the afternoon.

Thursday is sunny with north breezes at 10-15 mph, wake-up readings in the 40s, and daytime highs in the mid 60s.
