The Sunday morning low will be around 45 at Harry Reid International Airport before rising to around 74 on Sunday.
“It’s going to be a pretty nice weekend, so enjoy it while you can,” said weather service meteorologist Chris Outler. “We’re going to have a little taste (of winter) starting Monday.”
Winds on Monday could reach 30 to 40 mph in the valley, Outler said. A high near 68 is forecast before Tuesday with a high near 58 with a minor chance of rain and snow showers overnight Tuesday.
Wednesday will be even cooler with a chance of snow showers early and a high near 54, about 10 degrees below normal.
“The snow level will drop down considerably and we could get a dusting of snow in the Spring Mountains and Red Rock and it’s not out of the realm of possibility to get some flakes on the west side,” Outler said.
Overnight lows will dip into the mid-30s, possibly lower in some parts of the valley.
