Warm temperatures, at long last, are coming to the Las Vegas Valley thanks to the usual summertime ridge of high pressure over the area.

The Friday high should be near 76 with a sunny sky and light winds, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures will warm up to above normal values over the weekend as ridging sets up over the region.

Don’t get too comfortable though. Another round of cool and unsettled weather is set to impact the region towards the middle of next week.#VegasWeather #NVwx #CAwx #AZwx pic.twitter.com/jMsNeuPoER

Easter Sunday should see a high near 85 with a 91 expected on Monday and 92 on Tuesday.

After that, back to spring with the Thursday high forecast to be around 71 as unsettled weather moves in for a few days.
