Temperatures begin to fall this week in Las Vegas Valley
This week will likely have the last of three-digit temperatures in the Las Vegas Valley this year, the National Weather Service said.
After a high of 100 degrees Monday—7 degrees above normal— Tuesday’s high should be 13 degrees cooler at 87 degrees, the weather service said.
The rest of the week should be cool, with chances for showers Tuesday and Wednesday after storm systems move into the Las Vegas area, meteorologist Nathan Foster said. Tuesday has a 30 percent chance of rain.
Wednesday’s forecast high is 88 degrees, Thursday, the first day of autumn, has a forecast high of 86 degrees. Friday’s high is expected to be 81 degrees, Foster said.
Foster said the record for the latest 100-degree-high is Oct. 4, set in 1947.
