Nevada – The desert sun feels almost springlike this afternoon, but the chill returns quickly after dark. Light winds fade, skies stay clear, and temperatures slip fast once the sun drops behind the mountains. By Saturday evening, patios empty earlier as jackets come back out.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, a dry and stable weather pattern holds through the weekend. Afternoon highs hover near 70 degrees Friday, then ease into the upper 60s Saturday and Sunday. Nighttime lows settle into the lower to mid-40s, keeping winter firmly in play after sunset.
Across the Las Vegas Valley, no rain or snow is expected, yet travel timing still matters. Clear nights allow rapid cooling, especially in outlying neighborhoods and valley floors. Drivers along I-15 and U.S. 95 may notice colder pavement temperatures late at night, though icy conditions are not anticipated.
Winds remain light overall, shifting gently through the weekend. That keeps daytime plans comfortable for hiking, events, and travel. Even so, desert air cools efficiently once daylight fades. Plan evening outings with layers, and expect cooler conditions for early morning commutes.
Looking ahead, meteorologists continue tracking an active winter pattern across much of the country next week. While storms focus well east of Nevada, cooler nights persist locally. For now, Las Vegas enjoys a quiet stretch of winter weather marked by sunshine, mild afternoons, and brisk evenings.
