Nevada – A calm, cool desert morning greets early risers as clear skies linger over Las Vegas, but subtle changes are already lining up. A weak system brushes southern Nevada, bringing a brief window of showers before winter steadies itself for weekend travel and the final stretch of December.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, a chance of light showers develops later today, mainly after midday, with highs climbing into the low to mid-60s. Any rainfall stays light and short-lived, but damp pavement could briefly slow traffic during busier travel hours.
Las Vegas Boulevard, I-15, and U.S. 95 should remain in good shape overall. Still, drivers should watch for slick spots if showers pass through. Gusty southwest winds pick up at times, which may affect high-profile vehicles on open stretches of road.
By Saturday, sunshine returns quickly. Highs reach near 60, making for favorable holiday travel conditions across Clark County. Saturday night turns cooler, with lows dropping into the low 40s. Sunday stays sunny but cooler, topping out in the low 50s, with nighttime lows falling into the mid-30s. Patchy frost becomes possible in sheltered areas outside the urban core.
Early next week brings stable weather and clear skies, ideal for end-of-year errands and visitors heading home. Attention then turns to New Year’s Eve on Wednesday. A slight chance of showers reappears, signaling a possible pattern shift as 2026 begins. While no major impacts are expected yet, travelers should stay alert for updates.
For now, winter remains gentle but present. Plan layers for cool nights, allow extra time if showers pop up, and stay weather-aware heading into the New Year. Traveling this weekend or midweek? Let us know what conditions you’re seeing around the valley.
