Nevada Weather is ramping up fast across the Las Vegas Valley, and loose patio furniture could start sliding by late afternoon. A Wind Advisory takes effect at 4 p.m. and continues until 4 a.m. Friday, with sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph. Some western neighborhoods could see gusts near 55 mph.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, increasing clouds will bring showers likely after 1 p.m. today, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation. Highs reach near 51 degrees before winds shift southwest and strengthen into the evening. Gusts could peak during the late evening hours, especially along I-15 and U.S. 95.
Strong crosswinds may make travel difficult for high-profile vehicles, including trucks and RVs. Blowing dust could briefly reduce visibility in open desert stretches. Secure outdoor decorations, trash bins, and patio items before winds intensify.
Tonight stays breezy with a low near 35. A slight chance of showers lingers before skies gradually clear. Friday turns calmer with highs near 55 and increasing clouds.
The weekend brings a welcome break. Saturday climbs to 57 under sunny skies, and Sunday reaches 64 with bright February sunshine. By Monday, highs push near 69, and midweek temperatures could rise into the mid-70s. That signals early spring warmth settling into southern Nevada.
For now, focus on the wind. Are you feeling gusts in your neighborhood yet? Let us know how conditions look across Las Vegas.
