Las Vegas officially recorded its first freeze of the season, hitting 32 degrees just after 6 a.m. Friday at Harry Reid International Airport, according to the National Weather Service.

It was the first temperature of 32 degrees or lower at the airport since Feb. 3, when it hit 31.

Additionally, winds could gust to 20 mph Friday across the Las Vegas Valley as a cold front sweeps through the region.

The high should be near 51 with a sunny sky, says the National Weather Service. Northwest winds of 8-14 mph will turn north-northeast in the morning. Winds will become lighter after midnight.

The Saturday morning low will be around 30 in the central valley with colder temperatures at higher elevations.

Saturday’s high will be around 49 with winds around 6 mph.

Sunday should be slightly warmer as conditions gradually warm before Christmas.
