Highs in mid-60s to make weekend warmest since Halloween
Your Las Vegas weekend will start mostly gray Saturday morning before clearing in the afternoon and reaching a high temperature slightly above normal, says the National Weather Service.
The afternoon high should be near 63. Winds will be mostly calm. The norm this time of year is 60.
Sunday will be even warmer with a high near 66, a sunny sky and winds below 10 mph.
If you thought this past November was cooler than normal, you would be correct. November 2022 was the 15th coldest November for the Las Vegas area since record keeping began in 1937. 🥶#NVwx #VegasWeather pic.twitter.com/CW1dfNqrxv

The expected highs are the highest since before Halloween. The past month was the coldest November at Harry Reid International Airport in 20 years.
Cooler conditions will arrive Monday when the high should reach 62 before highs drop to the mid-50s the rest of the coming work week.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from 4AM Saturday to 4AM Monday for the eastern Sierra slopes. Heavy snowfall and gusty winds will reduce visibility and create slick roads, so drive with caution. Make sure you are prepared for winter weather impacts! #cawx pic.twitter.com/UINWaN5mhc
