Friday winds to put serious chill in Las Vegas air
A chilly Las Vegas weekend will start with a blustery Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
A high near 54 is forecast with west-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph that could gust to the low 20s. The overnight low will be near 34 with wind gusts nearly as high.
Planning on boating tomorrow? Strong northerly winds in the Colorado River Valley will create elevated wave heights on the lakes, making for hazardous boating conditions on the lakes.
Wave heights up to 3 feet and wind gusts up to 40 mph will be possible. 🌬️🌊⛵#Azwx #NVwx pic.twitter.com/gLBNpqUcVF
