The early taste of spring in Southern Nevada will extend into early next week, according to the National Weather Service.

After a Wednesday high of 75 at Harry Reid International Airport, Thursday should be nearly as nice with a high of 74 projected along with a sunny sky and winds no higher than 12-15 mph.

Friday could be a degree or two warmer with lighter winds, based on the current forecast.

Saturday and Sunday should reach into the lower 70s before rising to around 75 on Monday.

Overnight lows are forecast to be in the upper 40s.

Conditions are expected to change Tuesday when a cold front possibly brings rain and drops the highs 10 degrees or more.
