Las Vegas starts year right at normal with clear sky

Updated January 1, 2021 - 4:44 am

You could call it a normal weather forecast to start the new year and you would be right on target.

Morning lows at McCarran International Airport were in the mid-40s, slightly above average, said the National Weather Service.

“Highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 30s are right in the normal territory,” said meteorologist Chris Outler. “It will warm a bit through the weekend and into next week, but not much.”

Friday’s high will be about 56 with winds of 6-12 mph with a sunny sky. The overnight low should be around 36.

Saturday will be nearly identical with the Sunday high rising to about 58 before a high of 61 on Monday.

Winds should be light and variable with clear skies.
