Our cooler period of weather continues today in the Las Vegas Valley with a high today of 75 deg., but a gradual warming trend is in store as the week progresses. We will be looking at upper 80s by the end of this coming week, but excessive heat does not seem likely. Also, it looks to continue dry for the forecast period.
The high temp here in west Spring Valley, Las Vegas only got to 66 deg. this afternoon due to the deep mixing. Winds continue to be quite gusty, but have eased a bit as of 16:00 PDT. The low tonight could get down to the mid to upper 50s. Quite a change from just a few days ago when max temps were still in the low 90s.

Based on Henry’s discussion we may be in for a real taste of fall later in the month and…Read More
In my 30 years of living in Vegas, I can’t remember heat for so long and so far into October ! The whole year has been wonky!
Heat continues to be the story in the Southwest. The streak of hot days and nights.We may finally see sub-100 temps in the coming days. Hopefully the “endless summer” wanes soon.
An update from Las Vegas, NV. The 100s have returned to the Las Vegas Valley and it appears that will be the case for the next week or so. However, the low temps get down into the low 70s at night, and with the low humidity, the mornings are really nice.
Today it will reach 100 deg. and 100+ temps will be around until at least next Tuesday, or…Read More
We are getting our first taste of fall here. The low temp was 61 here and our high is only expected to reach around 83. Winds died down overnight which also allowed more cooling to take place after midnight. It is nice to get some cooler weather for a change in the Las Vegas Valley.
please send some to us in South Florida! Its still a steambath here- It seems higher dew points than usual. I do see some help on the horizon though- 68 dew points would feel great to us!
Temperatures have cooled considerably in the Las Vegas Valley the past few days. This morning we had a low of 70 deg. and high temps have been in the low to mid 90s.
Today will be very windy with gusts expected to be upwards of 40-45 mph. This morning, there were some lenticular clouds in the area making for a colorful sunrise.
Much improved air quality this morning and much cooler as well after a cold front passed through overnight. So, for the time being, air is good in the Las Vegas Valley. The temperature got down to 71 early this morning, and today is the first of a string of days of sub-100 deg. temps.
Very smoky conditions this morning in southern NV. Very unhealthy AQI from the Line Fire east of Los Angeles.
There is some convective activity this morning to the east over the mountains and an interesting sky this morning as the sun rose. Temps remain quite warm over the area with daily highs in the low 100s and mins in the low 80s. We do expect a cool down later this week in southern Nevada. Maybe finally sub-100.
Air quality has really fallen over the past couple of days due to large fires in CA. Very hazy and smoky here today and not much change is expected in the near term. Sky is milky white and sunsets and sunrises turn deep red withs these conditions.

The heat dome is building once again in the Southwest. At 15:30 PDT it is 100 deg here and 106 down at the airport. Apparently, this summer has been the hottest recorded for Las Vegas. Expect the “climate people” to jump all over that one.
Weather has been dry for the past several days in the Las Vegas area, but today we did get a few sprinkles from some convective activity. Not thunderstorms, but just well developed cu. Temperatures remain in the low 100s by day and in the low to mid-80s at night at this time.
Another nice cool start to the day in the Las Vegas Valley. I had a low of 69 deg. this morning, and this looks to be the last day of sub-100 highs for a while, though the 100 plus temps are low 100s not excessive as in the past.
We are having a nice break from the heat in the southern Nevada. This morning I had a low of 71 deg. and yesterday it got to 96. Another warm, but sub-100 day is in store for today with an expected high of only 94.
The daily monsoon storms have stayed well east of the Las Vegas area remaining over central Arizona and into New Mexico. We are having a noticeable cool down, however.
