Las Vegas to get brief respite from triple-digit temperatures
Las Vegas temperatures will briefly dip below the average 104-degree high for this time of year as a slight chance for showers enters the midweek forecast.
Ahead of the cooldown, Tuesday reached a high 0f 108, according to the National Weather Service.
Moisture and clouds will begin to move into the valley overnight, and by Wednesday afternoon, there will be a 30 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms. With that, the high will dip to 97 and be paired with humidity around 35 percent.
Still, despite humidity levels being “higher than we’re accustomed to,” said meteorologist Jenn Varian, “it will probably feel around 97.”
The storm system should thin out starting Thursday, when clear skies and a high of 101 are expected. Clear skies will persist through the weekend as Friday reaches 104; Saturday, 106; and Sunday, 105.
Overnight lows this week will be in the mid-80s, according to the weather service.
