Warm and tranquil conditions will prevail across Southern Nevada for the weekend and longer, according to the National Weather Service.

A dome of high pressure that covers most of Nevada is the reason for the extended pleasant weather that should extend through much of the coming week.

The Saturday high should be near 97 with light winds.

First Fall Weekend!
