Sunny sky, cool Wednesday with diminishing winds expected
There will be more sunshine to go with windy conditions in the Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.
“We’ll have gusts up to 25 or 30 mph mostly in the morning before they ease off this afternoon,” weather service meteorologist Barry Pierce said. Winds were gusting up to 30 mph before 6 a.m. at McCarran International Airport.
The forecast high is 68, about 4 degrees below normal.
A second front, this one a bit weaker, will bring a 15% chance of showers on Thursday into Friday, Pierce said. Temperatures will remain below normal with a 67 forecast for Thursday and 66 on Friday.
More warmth will enter the valley for the weekend with a high near 73 on Saturday and 76 on Sunday before a high around 81 on Monday.
