Tuesday started with winds from the northwest gusting up to 30 mph, but winds should diminish through the morning and afternoon to be steady about 10 mph. The high should be around 63.
No rainfall is expected, putting the record dry spell in its 218th day. Measurable rain last fell at McCarran International Airport on April 20.
The Wednesday high will be right about normal at 62.
Boating dangerous
Thanksgiving Day will probably be dangerous on Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, Nickerson said.
“We could have winds to 30 or 40 mph and waves could be very dangerous, so it won’t be a good day to be on the water,” she said.
Temperatures should warm a bit through the weekend into the mid-60s.
