Are you wishing it would warm up a bit?

You may need to wait a few days for slightly above normal temperatures to arrive in the Las Vegas Valley closer to Christmas.

Sunday should top out around 53 in the central valley with a sunny sky and calm winds, says the National Weather Service forecast.

A Monday low near 33 at the airport will mean freezing temperatures at higher elevations. A Monday high near 53 is forecast, identical to Sunday.

Tuesday will warm to around 54 for a high while a four-degree jump to a 58 on Wednesday will be more noticeable. By Friday, the valley may reach 60.

Next Saturday is nearly a full week away, but the weather service is looking for 63 degrees.
