Nevada greets the morning with calm air and a cool desert chill, but no immediate weather disruptions. Streetlights glow on dry pavement across Las Vegas, and travel conditions remain favorable as holiday plans ramp up.

According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, any lingering early showers fade quickly, giving way to clearing skies. Daytime temperatures rise into the upper 50s to near 60, while light winds keep conditions comfortable for outdoor errands and travel.

This stable winter pattern dominates the next several days. Sunday stays sunny with highs in the mid-50s, followed by mostly clear nights dipping into the upper 30s. No snow or freeze threats appear for the valley floor, and roadways along I-15 and U.S. 95 stay dry.

While mountain snow impacts parts of Utah and Colorado, southern Nevada sits safely south of the storm track. That separation keeps Las Vegas a reliable travel hub as visitors arrive or head home after the holidays. Drivers should still watch for chilly mornings, but widespread hazards remain unlikely.

By midweek, temperatures trend slightly warmer. Highs climb back near 60 by Tuesday and Wednesday, with only passing clouds expected. New Year’s Eve looks mild for evening plans, with comfortable temperatures and calm conditions along the Strip.

A weak disturbance could bring a small rain chance closer to New Year’s Day, though impacts appear minimal at this time. No flooding or travel issues are expected, and confidence remains high in continued dry conditions.

For travelers crossing state lines or flying through Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas offers one of the smoothest weather outlooks in the region. Pack layers for cool nights, but winter gear stays optional.
