Extreme heat warning returns this week for Las Vegas Valley
With a 110-degree Father’s Day barely behind us, Southern Nevada is bracing for another heat wave.
The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat warning for the Las Vegas Valley. It will be in effect from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 10 p.m. Thursday.
The weather service says high temperatures will reach around 110 degrees in Las Vegas, Pahrump, and Barstow. Other places will be even hotter: 115 in the Colorado River Valley and around 120 at Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park.
Clark County said Monday that cooling stations are being activated for the latest extreme heat warning. The daytime stations are available for anyone needing relief from the heat, including those experiencing homelessness.
A full list of cooling stations is available at allin.clarkcountynv.gov.
Officials advise people to drink plenty of water, stay out of the sun, and make sure young children and pets are not left in unattended vehicles.
