Las Vegas residents can expect a summerlike stretch to continue into early next week, with daytime highs in the low 90s through Monday. Drivers along I-15 and U.S. 95 should prepare for hot pavement, limited shade, and increased risk of vehicle overheating. Officials urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor work during peak afternoon heat, and keep an eye on pets and children.
According to the National Weather Service, clear skies will hold through Sunday night before a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Tuesday. South winds could pick up to 7 mph, adding some breezy relief but raising fire danger in outlying desert areas. Clark County emergency managers note that while rain chances remain low, any thunderstorm could bring brief heavy downpours and dangerous lightning.
Saturday and Sunday will stay sunny, with highs near 93°F and overnight lows dipping into the lower 70s. By Monday, skies remain mostly sunny, but cloud cover increases ahead of the approaching system. Tuesday morning commuters should watch for slick spots if isolated storms develop, especially on ramps and overpasses.
Residents are encouraged to avoid non-essential outdoor activities during peak heat hours, monitor air conditioning use, and prepare for possible lightning-related power disruptions midweek.
The current heat streak is expected to break slightly as storm chances expand Tuesday into Wednesday. More updates will follow if conditions shift.
