Wind gusts could reach 23 mph on Thanksgiving Day

‘Winds are forecast to be gusty on Thanksgiving Day with a sunny sky and a high near 63.

North-northeast winds 10 to 15 mph are expected across much of the Las Vegas Valley and gusts could reach to 23 mph, says the National Weather Service.

Winds are expected to decrease to single digits overnight with a Friday morning low of 41. The Friday high should be near 61 with a sunny sky.

Temperatures will warm a bit to around 63 on Saturday and Sunday.

Wind advisory

Southern Clark County and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area has a wind advisory that began 8 p.m. Wednesday and runs until 6 p.m. Thursday.

North winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph are possible, and could make travel difficult for motorcycles, large trucks, trailers and campers.

Unsecured objects could be blown away and strong winds over open waters will make any boating hazardous, especially for small watercraft, says the weather service.
