News Summary
Las Vegas is set to experience a variety of weather conditions in the upcoming days, starting with cooler temperatures and sunshine, followed by rain and thunderstorms. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for these changes, which will shift the current dry conditions.

Las Vegas is expected to experience a mix of weather conditions over the coming days, with cooler temperatures continuing through midweek, followed by potential rain and thunderstorms as the weekend approaches. The National Weather Service has issued alerts regarding the upcoming weather changes, noting a shift from the current dry and pleasant conditions.
On Sunday, residents can expect temperatures to reach a high of 96°F with minimal winds from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph, making it a comfortable day for outdoor activities. The forecast predicts mostly sunny skies, with a low of 71°F overnight. Through the following days, temperatures will gradually rise, reaching 98°F on Monday with mostly clear skies. Tuesday’s high is forecasted to near 100°F, while Wednesday could see temperatures peak at 101°F under abundant sunshine.
This warm trend is attributable to a trough of low pressure currently influencing the area, which is keeping temperatures below average. However, as a ridge of high pressure builds up over the week, temperatures are expected to climb back to typical summer levels in the mid to upper 90s. By Thursday, forecasters anticipate a change in weather patterns, brought on by a slow-moving low-pressure system off the California coast. This system is likely to combine with moisture left over from Tropical Storm Mario, increasing the chances of precipitation.
Weather predictions indicate a 20% likelihood of showers and/or thunderstorms on Thursday, rising to a 40% chance on Friday and tapering to between 20% and 30% on Saturday. These changes come after several days of largely dry and clear weather, which has been favorable for outdoor pursuits across The Strip and other areas of Southern Nevada.
The UV index for Sunday is rated at 8, which is considered very high, indicating that sun protection is necessary for those spending extended periods outdoors. Fortunately, the air quality in Las Vegas is currently considered satisfactory, posing minimal risks from air pollution or pollen, and the flu risk remains very low.
As for flying conditions, Visual Flight Rules (VFR) are expected to prevail, with light winds generally aiding in safe air travel throughout the southern region. Despite the anticipation of significant weather changes later in the week, confidence regarding where cloud cover may develop—impacting potential thunderstorms—remains relatively low.
Residents are encouraged to remain aware of changing weather conditions and to report any significant weather activity, especially as the First Alert is in effect for the upcoming warmer trends and the possibility of thunderstorms. The last forecast for Saturday suggests a high of 92°F before temperatures rise further early next week.
Overall, Las Vegas is shaping up to have a mix of calm and stormy weather in the week ahead, offering both opportunities for outdoor activities and a reminder of the area’s dynamic weather patterns.
