Clark County remains under smoke advisory today

Despite possible health risks from exposure to smoke filled air, the weather in the Las Vegas Valley remains essentially the same as the rest of the week so far. Expect a high of 90 degrees with sunny skies today, and the heat waning overnight under clear skies with a low of 72.
