LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Thursday started with chilly morning temperatures in the 40s, but moisture could produce isolated rain showers.
- Temps are staying about 15 degrees cooler than normal
- Breezy winds return Friday/Saturday
- Warmer 70s, 80s, AND 90s on the way in 8-day forecast
Yesterday’s highs didn’t quite reach 60 degrees, and today won’t be much warmer, but it should feel better without those gusty winds. Most of this low-pressure system has pivoted east, but just enough moisture on the backside of the system could produce isolated showers or thunderstorms and more snow in the mountains.
The day starts out sunny, but clouds will begin appearing, and the afternoon could bring back some showers or even thunderstorms with more snow for the local mountains. Futurecast models are showing prime time between 2 and 7 p.m. Thunderstorms could produce small hail and gusty winds. Another couple of inches of snow could fall in the mountains before the system pulls away into Arizona and Utah.
High pressure will rebuild beginning Friday and Saturday, producing gusty northeast winds up to 30 mph on both days. Winds should calm down by Sunday into next week as temperatures warm up. Highs will make it back to the normal 70s this weekend, then quickly warm to 80s early next week before jumping into the hotter 90s by midweek and that could last for several days. The normal high next week is 77-78, and the normal low is 55-56…
