Hot, breezy conditions continue hold on Las Vegas Valley

Lighter afternoon winds and typical mid-summer high temperatures around 106-108 are forecast for the Las Vegas Valley for the next several days.

The forecast high for Wednesday is 106 while afternoon winds may reach 15-20 mph, said National Weather Service meteorologist Chelsea Kryston. The high Wednesday was 107.

The overnight low should be about 84 with southwest winds.

Thursday should reach 107 with a 108 on Friday when wind conditions could reach 20 mph.

Moisture possibility

The weather service said moisture conditions could change later next week, perhaps increasing the chances for some monsoon activity closer to Las Vegas.

“There is disagreement on the timing and whether it will be in Arizona or possibly closer to Las Vegas,” Kryston said. “But some of the models are showing it’s possible, but only time and details will tell. It may not even be thunderstorms.”
