Warmer days expected for Las Vegas valley this week

After a week of snow, rain and low temperatures, the Las Vegas valley is going to see a steep warming trend, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday’s forecast calls for temperatures near 60 degrees in the afternoon, with a low of 41 overnight. Tuesday has a forecast high of 67 and an overnight low of 43, the weather service said.

Valley residents can expect highs near 69 on Wednesday and 68 on Thursday, the warmest days of the week, the weather service said.

The weather service expects a small cold front to sweep through the valley Friday, bringing afternoon temperatures back down to about 64. But meteorologist Trevor Boucher said that weather system will bring nothing like the cold temperatures Las Vegans have experienced in the past week.

“You probably won’t even notice it,” Boucher said.

The typical high for this time of year is about 65.
