More sunshine should be felt in the Las Vegas Valley on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

After a mostly cloudy Thursday that saw a high temperature of 57 at Harry Reid International Airport, the Friday high should be near 61, with light and variable winds.

Friday night should be mostly clear with a Saturday morning low near 43 in the central valley. Saturday will have sunny conditions and the high temperature will be around 64.

The current forecast calls for a 64 on Christmas Day. That’s 5 degrees short of the Christmas Day record of 69 set in 1964. A slight chance of rain is expected starting Tuesday.
