A one-day “cool down” that is still above normal will be felt in the Las Vegas Valley on Tuesday, perhaps a sign of a hot summer ahead.

The high at McCarran International Airport is expected to reach 79 — after a third consecutive day with a high of 91 on Monday — according to the latest National Weather Service forecast. Winds that reached 36 mph Monday afternoon will gradually diminish.

“We’ll be back into the 80s real quick,” said weather service meteorologist Chris Outler, adding that the above-normal temperatures will “stay that way for the foreseeable future.”

The Wednesday high is expected to be around 86 with an 88 on Thursday. Highs will be in the upper 80s through the weekend and into next week.
