A stretch of above-average temperatures near 70° begins Sunday, which is Groundhog Day. Mid 70s are possible Monday and Tuesday, which is 10°-15° above-average and only 1°-2° shy of records for those dates.
Nighttime lows won't be as cold moving forward; plan on 40s this weekend and low 50s early next week.
Above-average highs in the mid 60s are expected on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. No rain is forecast over the next seven days in Southern Nevada.
