Updated May 21, 2021 - 7:34 am

Wind velocities on Friday will be about half of what they were on Thursday but will still pack a punch, according to the National Weather Service.

A gust of 64 mph was recorded at Red Rock Conservation Area on Thursday afternoon with winds exceeding 40 mph in most parts of the valley for much of the afternoon and into the night.

With sunny skies Friday and a high near 72, southwest winds of 14-21 mph will gust as high as 30 mph.

Skies will turn partly cloudy Friday night with a low around 54.

Saturday will be slightly warmer with a high near 75. Winds will mainly stay below 10 mph.

Sunday will see a high near 82, still well below normal.
