LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The desert glows soft gold before sunrise, the Strip’s lights fading as another clear morning unfolds. A gentle breeze moves through the valley, carrying that fleeting hint of autumn — crisp air before the sun quickly warms the asphalt.
Today starts mild and mostly sunny, with highs near 83°F under a dry northwest wind. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas notes a brief window of clouds early Wednesday, but skies will clear quickly. Calm conditions continue through Thursday as highs hover in the low 80s — a perfect setup for outdoor projects, morning runs, or early Halloween prep.
By Friday, the pattern holds steady with more sunshine and highs around 82°F, though subtle shifts are developing. A ridge of high pressure keeps skies stable, but cooler air lingers just north of the state. As the weekend arrives, a weak trough brushes southern Nevada, pulling in slightly stronger breezes and nudging temperatures down into the upper 70s by Sunday.
No rain or storm activity is expected, and humidity will remain low. However, desert evenings are cooling faster each day, with lows dropping near 60°F — a reminder that the season’s turn is underway. For now, it’s a comfortable stretch before the next potential pattern change late next week, when long-range models hint at gustier conditions and a sharper cooldown.
For locals, it’s quintessential October weather — bright skies, soft air, and that late-fall rhythm that feels almost too perfect to last.
