LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Patriot Day events in Las Vegas will unfold under clear skies Thursday, September 11, but gusty winds may cause challenges for outdoor gatherings and travel. Residents planning to attend memorials or use the I-15 corridor should expect breezy conditions and temperatures peaking near 93 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday will bring sunshine across the Las Vegas Valley with south-southeast winds reaching 14 mph and gusts near 20 mph. Evening temperatures will dip to about 70, offering cooler relief after a hot and breezy day.
Clark County emergency officials advise residents to stay hydrated and protect themselves from the sun during Patriot Day ceremonies. Those traveling along U.S. 95 and I-15 should use caution, as higher-profile vehicles may experience sway in stronger gusts. Outdoor workers are encouraged to take breaks in shaded areas and drink plenty of water.
Friday continues sunny with highs near 90, followed by a weekend rebound to the low 90s. Despite the heat, overnight lows will hover in the lower 70s, making evenings comfortable for outdoor events.
Winds remain lighter by Friday night into the weekend, reducing travel concerns. The extended stretch of sunshine keeps fire danger elevated across southern Nevada, so residents should avoid outdoor burning and secure loose items in yards.
Conditions stay consistent into early next week with temperatures ranging from 91 to 94 degrees under mostly clear skies. More advisories are possible if gusty winds return over the weekend.
