Spring chill, perhaps rain, will be felt before Las Vegas weekend
If you like spring more than summer, enjoy the week.
Las Vegas Valley temperatures that are a bit above normal are forecast to take a plunge this week to below normal before the weekend, says the National Weather Service.
Some rain or thunderstorm action is possible on Friday.
All aboard the spring weather-coaster! Temperatures will go from 10+ degrees above normal today to a few degrees cooler than normal by the end of the week. Afternoon breezes will accompany these cooling temperatures during the second half of the week. #VegasWeather pic.twitter.com/OcUuYLL7oc

A Tuesday high near 91 is expected although some gusting wind to 24 mph will make it feel a bit cooler. The Wednesday low should be near 63 before an afternoon high around 86. Winds may again gust close to 30 mph.
The Thursday high will be around 80 with a 76 for Friday.
Temperatures remain unseasonably warm through Monday, but after that we’ll see steady cooling throughout the week. However, the cooler weather will be accompanied by gusty winds. #nvwx #azwx #cawx pic.twitter.com/QlDA76PEh7
