Las Vegas wakes up mostly clear and around 55°F this Sunday morning, April 26, with light southwest breezes and a calm start that will not last. Through the afternoon and into the evening, winds are expected to strengthen, and there is a slight chance late in the day for spotty rain showers or an isolated thunderstorm capable of brief heavy downpours and sudden gusts. The high should top out near 72°F, setting up a warm but noticeably blustery afternoon.
