Temperatures are set to fall this weekend as summer begins to wind down in the Las Vegas Valley.

Monsoon moisture is unlikely to return to the valley next week, according to the National Weather Service, with dry and breezy weather forecast for the next several days.

Winds should remain between 10 and 20 mph and temperatures should hang around in the low 100s through Thursday, the weather service said.

Saturday should see a morning low near 81 and the high for the day should reach 102. Sunday’s high will rise to about 103 with a morning low near 82, the weather service said.

Next week will start out with highs of 102 forecast for Monday and 101 forecast for Tuesday.

The high for Wednesday should drop to 100 before Thursday’s high jumps back up to 103, the weather service said.

The forecast highs are relatively consistent with typical temperatures for this time of year, the weather service said.
