Las Vegas warming will see 20% chance of showers late Wednesday

Updated March 2, 2021 - 9:02 pm

Sunny skies and temperatures a few degrees above normal are expected for the Las Vegas Valley on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The forecast high is 68 at McCarran International Airport, 2 degrees above the normal.

Wednesday may see a high around 70 before a storm system brings a 20% chance of showers Wednesday night into Thursday.

“It will just be a quick system moving across Southern California and Southern Nevada,” said weather service meteorologist John Adair.

Spring weekend

After the system moves through the are, temperatures will rise into the mid-70s for the weekend.

“Saturday will have winds of 20 to 30 mph, but they will be from the southwest rather than the north,” Adair said, adding it will feel more like spring.

Sunday will be calmer and a high of 74 is in the current forecast.
