Las Vegas cooler, windy ahead of warming trend

Updated May 19, 2020 - 8:19 am

If you like cooler weather, the next few days are for you. Enjoy it, because it won’t last.

With a forecast high of 75 in the Las Vegas Valley, temperatures will be about 15 degrees below normal across the area Tuesday.

Winds will be brisk from the southwest at 13 to 16 mph with gusts to 23 mph possible.

A wind gust of 45 mph was recorded overnight at a weather station at Deer Creek, National Weather Service meteorologist Trevor Boucher said.

The overnight low early Wednesday is forecast to be 55. Wednesday’s high will be about 81.

Temperatures will rise into the Memorial Day weekend with a forecast high of 97 by Monday.

“It looks like we’ll get a cold front right after the holiday and that will knock the temperature down 4 to 5 degrees,” Boucher said. “After that, the climate prediction center shows above-average temperatures for 8 to 14 days. That means we’ll be at least higher than the 90s for early June, right about on schedule.”
