Mother Nature turning up the heat across Las Vegas Valley
The official first day of summer is still three weeks away, but the Las Vegas Valley already is starting to heat up.
The valley will see near-record temperatures over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday will start out with breezy winds and a morning low near 70 degrees. Friday’s high should be 94, which is just about average for this time of year.
Saturday will see a high of 101, the weather service said, and Sunday will reach 104, just 3 degrees short of the previous record for the day.
Next week will kick off with a high of 106 degrees on Monday, before the valley heads into a short cooling trend, the weather service said.
