The Las Vegas Valley will get hotter this week, but cooler temperatures are on the horizon.

By Friday, winds will increase and temperatures will start to fall as a storm system heading in from the Pacific Ocean passes over the valley, the weather service said.
Friday’s forecast has a 94-degree high with winds that could gust up to 25 mph, the weather service said.
Saturday will see similar winds gusts through the day as the high drops to 87, the weather service said.
Winds should start to dissipate on Sunday as the storm system passes; the high should be 82.
