“A front spinning off San Diego will brush that area with some precipitation chances,” said weather service meteorologist John Adair. “All Las Vegas will get is some high cloud cover.”
The Wednesday forecast high for Las Vegas is 65, well above the normal 57 for this time of year. Southwest winds will be light and variable with partly sunny skies.
Conditions will be similar on Thursday with a high in the mid-60s.
Cooler conditions with highs in the upper 50s will prevail through the weekend and into next week, according to the forecast.
