Las Vegas ties record high on warm Easter weekend

Updated April 3, 2021 - 5:52 pm

April continues its toasty start after a cooler-than-normal March in Las Vegas.

On Saturday, Las Vegas recorded a high of 91, which tied the record for April 3 set in 1961, the National Weather Service said in a tweet.

Nearly identical conditions are forecast for Sunday.

A low pressure system will move into central Nevada on Monday, causing wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph in the Las Vegas Valley with a high near 90.

After a high near 80 on Tuesday, other highs will be in the upper 80s, well above the seasonal normal of mid-70s.

March 2021 was chillier and wetter than a normal March, forecasters said.

The official recording station for Las Vegas is at McCarran International Airport.
