Tuesday is chilly and sunny

LAS VEGAS — It's sunny and calm today, so afternoon highs in the upper 50s will feel a little better than yesterday. Laughlin deals with north gusts of 30 mph today. We'll drop near 40° tonight (mid-and-upper 30s in our colder neighborhoods) as some clouds increase as a weak system pushes across northern Nevada into Utah. Early morning clouds on Wednesday give way to increasing sun, sending afternoon highs to the low 60s for the first time in two weeks. Low 60s last through the upcoming weekend, and thicker clouds starting Friday set the stage for some weekend raindrops. The chance for measurable rain on Saturday and Sunday is 20%, but rises to 50% Monday. No big wind is expected over the next seven days. Nighttime lows will be in the 40s through the weekend. Right now a few inches of snow are expected this weekend in the Spring Mountains, primarily above 7,000 feet. Snowfall should continue into early next week when the main batch of moisture streams across Southern Nevada.
