This has been the hottest day so far this summer in the Las Vegas Valley. I had a max temperature of 107 today while the airport was well above 111. The forecast high was expected to be 110 to 115 today. An excessive heat warning is in effect through tomorrow. The monsoon moisture and storms have been well east of here from extreme east AZ into…Read More
It has been a while since I checked in here. But we are definitely in the heat of summer here in Southern Nevada. Also, we have in in and out of the fire smoke from the California wildfires. The worst day was this past Tuesday when our AQI approached 180. Most of the days it has been in the upper end of the moderate range. It seems this pattern…Read More
After gusty storms Tuesday in the central and eastern portions of the Las Vegas Valley, we are on the western edge of a plume of monsoonal moisture that is helping fuel more thundershowers and gusty storms today. A light thundershower just passed through my area. a while ago at around 14:30 PDT. What happened earlier in the week looked indicative…Read More
After several days of 100+ high temps in southern Nevada, it has cooled down significantly after the passage of a cool front yesterday and last night. The highest temp at my place was 105 two day ago, while the airport recorded 111. Last night the low here was 66 deg, and currently it is a comfortable 82 degrees at 12:50 PDT and heat index of 77.…Read More
The heat has returned to the desert Southwest in force. The temperature here broke 100 deg. for the first time yesterday with a high of 102. It is currently 100 deg. as of 12:30 PDT and an excessive heat warning has been issued through tomorrow. Low temps have been in the low to mid 80s so far, and my low here early this morning was 80.
But the lack of humidity makes it somewhat more bearable…..but hot is hot!
It is a much less active day across Southern NV today compared to yesterday. There was one report of 1″ hail just north of Las Vegas that is also shown on the severe wx reports on SPC. This weekend looks to be quite warm again with temps reaching 100+ but dry for the most part.
At 13:50 PDT, we had another thunderstorm with a heavy downpour. Temperature dropped from 89 to 82 currently at 14:10. Now we just have light rain.
The past couple of days have been unsettled across Southern NV with scattered thunderstorms and thundershowers developing each afternoon. The night before last, we had a brief heavy thundershower here at my location. More of the same is in store for this afternoon as well. The temperature at 13:00 PDT is 87 with a dew pt of 49.

Scattered thundershowers have developed over the mountains west of Las Vegas this afternoon with clouds also forming over the valley, but no precip here. Temps remain warm with higher humidity than typical. Dew point is around 53 as of 14:00 PDT with a temperature of 90 deg.
That feels swampy to Valley residents!
Cooler temperatures have prevailed across the Las Vegas Valley starting yesterday. Sunday was overcast for most of the day, but no precipitation in the valley. Early this morning, there were a few sprinkles, but by late morning, the sky started clearing and is currently partly cloudy and breezy with a temperature of 83 as of 12:00 PDT.
I had a high temp of 99 deg. at my location while the airport has observed 106. Currently 98 deg at 16:30 PDT. It looks like another rather warm night with lows in the low to mid 80s in most locations in the Las Vegas Valley. Some high clouds have been present, but otherwise very sunny and clear.
It was a warm night in the Las Vegas Valley last night. I had a low here of 82 deg., and currently at 10:10 PDT it is already 94 deg. The forecast high is 106 which seems to agree also with the HRRR. With the passage of a front, it should cool back down into the low to mid 90s after tomorrow.
The pre-summer heat has arrived in the Las Valley. Currently, it is 95 deg at my location as of 12:30 PDT. But, the high today is expected to be around 101 deg. today. More seasonal temps are expected by Sunday.
It looks like the heat will be building across southern NV over the next several days. We are on track to breach 100+ degrees by later this week. Summer is on the door step for much of the Southwest after a relatively mild spring.

We had overcast skies this morning in southern NV, but no precipitation reaching the ground. It cleared out by mid-day, but turned very windy with gusts upwards of 35 mph. As of 15:00 PST the temperature here is 85 deg. Cooler air is wrapping around the upper level low as it moves east of here. Temps should warm up rapidly again as the week…Read More
We have not yet hit the 100 deg.mark at my location in the west Las Vegas Valley, but temps are trending in the low to mid 90s now each day. The air mass is very dry current;u with a dew point of only 11 deg. Thus, even with the 90+ temps, the low humidity makes it feel more like the mid 80s or so. I do hope you folks in the Northeast get some…Read More
We have had a string of relatively mild weather in the Las Vegas area the past several days, except for the gusty winds from time to time. Yesterday, winds gusted into the 40+mph range with overcast skies. Henry mentioned a storm report for wind near Las Vegas, but those storms were in the mountains west of here and not over the Las Vegas Valley.…Read More
