Sunday should see a high near 54 with light and variable winds under a sunny sky. The overnight low will be around 35.
Monday will have nearly identical conditions. Tuesday is forecast to rise to a high of 58, a few degrees above normal.
The weather service forecast calls for highs in the upper 50s through Christmas Day.
Showers possible
Showers are a slight possibility on Wednesday, increasing Thursday before a likely dry day on Friday and perhaps returning on Christmas Day, according to weather service meteorologist Jenn Varian.
“Showers are about a 45 percent chance on Thursday as a front comes through from the Pacific,” Varian said.
The year’s precipitation at Harry Reid International Airport is 1.73 inches through Friday, compared with the norm of 3.96 inches.
