Las Vegas daily highs to move toward 70 — briefly

With a 70 in next week’s forecast, it must be the start — sort of — a warming trend.

It will start with a sunny Saturday and a high of 61. Winds will be light. Sunday will warm to around 65 with abundant sunshine and little wind.

President’s Day should see a high near 68 before a projection of 70 for Tuesday. Then conditions go downhill quickly as a front moves in Tuesday night.

An isolated shower is possible after 10 p.m. and Wednesday will bring a chance of rain or snow showers before 10 a.m. and a high near 53. It’s a glimpse of spring, but winter is hanging in there in Southern Nevada.
