‘Winds are forecast to be gusty on Thanksgiving Day with a sunny sky and a high near 63.

Winds are expected to decrease to single digits overnight with a Friday morning low of 41. The Friday high should be near 61 with a sunny sky.

Temperatures will warm a bit to around 63 on Saturday and Sunday.

Southern Clark County and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area has a wind advisory that began 8 p.m. Wednesday and runs until 6 p.m. Thursday.

North winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph are possible, and could make travel difficult for motorcycles, large trucks, trailers and campers.
