Winds may be a factor during Las Vegas Grand Prix

Rain should hold off until after the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday, but windy conditions could be a factor for drivers.

Winds for Friday’s practice and qualifying sessions should be relatively calm, but Saturday evening gusts could be around 30 mph, says the National Weather Service.

A 10 percent chance of showers comes in to play after 4 a.m. Sunday, rising to 20 percent by 10 a.m.

A Friday high near 67 is forecast with a 73 listed for Saturday and 67 on Sunday.

Thanksgiving week will start with a Monday high near 65. Currently, the turkey day high should be near 60 in central Las Vegas.

Lee Canyon open daily

Lee Canyon kicked off daily winter operations Friday with a 16-inch base.

Three of the resort’s five lifts, including Ponderosa and Rabbit Peak, will be open.

It is Lee Canyon’s first pre-Thanksgiving opening in more than a decade, according to a press release from the resort.

Possible mountain outage

Mount Charleston area residents may encounter a suspension of electricity Friday night into Saturday afternoon, according to NV Energy.

The utility may issue a “Public Safety Outage Management” event for Angel Peak and Kyle Canyon from about 10 p.m. Friday through 2 p.m. Saturday, according to a press release.

Southwest winds of 9 to 13 mph with gusts as high as 26 mph are in the National Weather Service forecast for Kyle Canyon on Friday night. Gusts may reach 37 mph on Saturday night.
