Temperatures slightly above normal will be accompanied by some gusty winds in the Las Vegas Valley this weekend.

An excessive heat warning for the Las Vegas Valley was canceled early Thursday — not that it will do a lot to change the above-normal heat.
Wednesday reached 109 degrees, and Thursday’s high is set to drop slightly to 106, the National Weather Service said. Thursday is expected to have winds from 15 to 25 mph.
“So far we have not heard from anybody who has specifically seen our balloon,” National Weather Service meteorologist Ashley Wolf said on Tuesday.
Light winds might be the only respite from the above-average temperature conditions that have a strong grip on the Las Vegas Valley.
The Las Vegas Valley is heading into another hot and sunny week with an excessive heat warning on the horizon, the National Weather Service said.
An excessive heat watch was issued Saturday morning to begin Tuesday. The heat watch designation came less than a day after an excessive heat warning ended Friday evening.
Meteorologists say July was the hottest month measured on Earth since records began in 1880.
Southern Nevada residents should take precautions this week as an excessive heat warning has been issued through Friday.
Temperatures are expected to climb to 110 degrees this week, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday’s forecast high is 101 degrees, the weather service said, with light winds in the evening that should stay between 5-10 mph.
Saturday reached a high of 102, just one degree lower than the average of 103 degrees for this time of year, the weather service said.
Temperatures will hover just below the average high of 103, with light breezes through the weekend and into next week, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday afternoon’s rainfall should be the only precipitation the Las Vegas Valley see over the next few days, according to the National Weather Service.
Clouds are expected to keep temperatures near or below average in the Las Vegas Valley for the rest of the work week, but chances of rain remain slight.
