“Everything is tapering down,” weather service meteorologist Todd Lericos said of the recent precipitation. Only a trace was recorded at McCarran International Airport, which has received 0.84 inches this year compared to a normal of 1.58 inches.
Conditions will warm the rest of the week with highs of 65 on Wednesday, 72 on Thursday and 76 on Friday. All three days are expected to be sunny with wind son the light side.
After a weekend close to the normal high of 70, showers are possible Sunday night before another cool front arrives early next week.
