Winds that reach 42 mph in Las Vegas on Saturday will be less powerful Sunday, but will still be felt, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast high is 87 with north-northwest winds gusting from 20 to 30 mph.
As a cold front blows through the valley Sunday morning there is a 10-15% chance of rain in the valley and a 20-25% possibility of rain in the Springs Mountains and Mesquite area.
Monday will see a high around 83 as the front drops temperatures and the winds continue, but the respite will be short.
“It will rebound quickly to 94 by Wednesday and 96 on Thursday,” weather service meteorologist Kate Guillet said.
