It took a long time for the first 100-degree day to arrive in Las Vegas this year, and the heat won’t be leaving for a week or longer.

The mercury topped out at 102 in Harry Reid International Airport on Friday, ending a 294-day stretch of staying below 100.

An excessive heat warning begins at 11 a.m. Saturday and runs through 8 p.m. Monday.

The Saturday high in central Las Vegas should be near 108 before a 112 on Sunday and possibly 113 on Monday.

Overnight lows will be in the mid-80s, not allowing much time for cooling.

Government agencies are opening cooling stations across the valley on Saturday.

Daily high temperatures should “cool” to the 106-108 range Tuesday through Friday next week.
