Sunny, cooler, less windy Tuesday for Las Vegas Valley
Cooler but a little less windy is the latest National Weather Service forecast for the Las Vegas Valley.
Temperatures will be about 7 to 9 degrees below normal with a projected high of 69. Winds are forecast to be 7-11 mph, well below the highest gust of 38 mph recorded Monday afternoon at McCarran International Airport.
“It’s kind of a trade-off,” meteorologist Ashley Nickerson said. “Cooler but a lot less windy.”
Wednesday’s forecast high jumps to 79 with winds about 7-11 mph.
Yes! We're going back to the 80’s, though we will have to ride a little roller coaster to get there.
📈🌤️Outside of the cloudier skies Thursday & Friday, mostly sunny skies and mild temps are expected through the rest of this week and into early next week.#vegasweather pic.twitter.com/g7uenCl9rl

Thursday should see the mercury rise to about 81 degrees. McCarran has had only one 80-degree day this year.
Nickerson said a front approaching the valley on Friday could bring a chance of rain, but it’s a bit too early to be sure.
High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to 80 Friday through Monday, according to the weather service.
