Nevada – A soft, gray morning settles across the Las Vegas Valley as clouds stretch over the Spring Mountains and dampen the early light. Pavement reflects warm air and a hint of humidity, signs of a developing system that will tighten through the weekend. Residents planning errands, outdoor work, or early holiday travel should prepare for slower drive times Sunday as steadier showers move toward the metro.
According to the National Weather Service Las Vegas office, today brings increasing clouds and scattered showers after midday. The agency expects a stronger round of rain to form Saturday evening and expand into Sunday morning as deeper Pacific moisture crosses the Mojave. Forecasters highlight the potential for brief downpours and gusty winds, especially along I-15 between the Strip and the California line. While winter weather remains confined to higher peaks, a cooler push Sunday night may lay the groundwork for a sharper cold snap next week.
According to meteorologists, temperatures stay seasonably mild today and Saturday, then fall into the lower 60s Sunday as clouds thicken. Models hint at a second disturbance by midweek that could reinforce the cooling trend and spark a “Winter Tease,” though measurable snow stays most likely above 6,500 feet. Rapid shifts between warm and cool air often trigger slick spots on Red Rock trails and create slower climbs on Mount Charleston.
For now, residents can take advantage of early November warmth for yard cleanup or holiday decorating before steadier showers arrive. After all, November weather in Nevada turns quickly, and this wet weekend marks the first step toward the colder pattern expected near Thanksgiving.
