After a week of temperatures cooler than normal, things will start to heat up again by the end of the weekend in Las Vegas.

A bright sunshiny day greeted the valley Wednesday after monsoon thunderstorms faded.
A large, low-pressure system moving in from the coast of California should bring gusty winds up to 25 mph on Wednesday. Mostly clear skies in the morning should yield to high clouds from the West into the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
A thunderstorm that quickly moved through the Las Vegas Valley Monday night unleashed an onslaught of rain, flooding, lightning, hail and strong winds.
Several tornadoes touched down in the Kansas City area Monday evening and vehicles were caught up in floodwaters that the storms produced.
A thunderstorm moving across the valley is causing flooding, hail and strong winds, the National Weather Service said. Parts of the valley are under a flash flood warning until 9:15 p.m., according to the weather service. The Las Vegas Fire Department is warning drivers not to use Charleston Boulevard from Rainbow Boulevard east due to flood water.
The advisory expires about 4:30 p.m. and covers Summerlin, Lone Mountain, Aliante, Centennial Hills and Floyd Lamb State Park, the weather service said.
Las Vegas melted through a 22nd day of 105-degree and higher temperatures Friday. There wasn’t a record 23rd day on Saturday.
