Dust, wind advisory in effect on Tuesday in Las Vegas Valley
Continued windiness and rising temperatures are expected in the Las Vegas Valley this week, the National Weather Service said.
Wednesday and Thursday will have highs near 84 degrees and winds are expected to be light, meteorologist Dan Berc said. Skies are expected to be sunny throughout Wednesday.
Winds are expected to pick up Friday, but won’t be as strong as early in the week. The high should be 83 degrees, Berc said.
Temperatures start to increase Saturday with an 88-degree high, the weather service said.
Sunday’s forecast high is 95 degrees, which is 14 degrees above normal, Berc said. However, it is not expected to break the 2012 record high of 98 degrees.
Only two days this year have reached the 90-degree mark, and Sunday’s high is the warmest forecast high since Jan. 1, Berc said. The last time the valley reached 95 degrees was on Sept. 19, when a high of 100 degrees was recorded.
