Wind, high of 90 forecast in Las Vegas on Thursday
If it hasn’t felt like summer to you, it probably will before Thursday is over.
The forecast high for the Las Vegas Valley is 90 degrees with sunny skies and northerly winds from 7 to 14 mph. Gusts up to 20 mph are possible.
“It’s just sunny and hot,” National Weather Service meteorologist Jenn Varian said of a forecast that calls for a high of 100 by Wednesday, the next-to-last day of April.
The rather quick climb to 100 comes after an April that has generally seen below-average temperatures, reaching 80 degrees only four times this year.
As of today, Las #Vegas has only recorded 80+ deg temps 4 times this year. This has not happened since 1983 and only 6 times since 1937. Record high temps possible next week. #nvwx #vegasweather pic.twitter.com/zRXUfywcfZ

Las Vegas has never reached 100 in April, Varian said, the earliest century reading being May 1.
The low Thursday night should be around 64 with winds 6 to 13 mph.
Friday calls for a high near 87 with lighter winds, about 6 to 11 mph.
Saturday calls for a high of 93, with 95 forecast Sunday.
