LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Southern Nevada will experience a roller-coaster of temperatures this week, with highs ranging from the 60s to the 80s and a chance of showers and thunderstorms in some areas.
HEADLINES:
- Some clouds, breezes, and cooler 50s
- Another chance of showers today & tonight
- Much cooler highs in the 60s
- Roller-coaster temps with more wind this week
Some leftover clouds and breezes from the weekend. Highs slid from the warmer 80s on Friday to milder 70s by Sunday. This morning was a reminder of how cool the spring mornings are supposed to feel, with 50s around the valley and cooler 40s in the outer regions. After so much wind and some brief showers on Sunday, we will be looking for another shot at rain later today and early tonight. Highs will just make it to the cooler upper 60s this afternoon. That’s a really cool change from the many warm days in the 80s and 90s this spring so far.
An area of low pressure will finally drop south toward Southern Nevada and swing into Southern Utah later this afternoon. It will bring a cold front along with colder air aloft and instability. While Nye and Lincoln Counties will get a chance for thunderstorms with lightning and graupel, which are icy rain pellets, Clark County will likely just see showers and get some gusty winds. Highs will struggle to get near 70 degrees…
