Las Vegas, NV – Dangerous heat and thick haze are locking down the Las Vegas Valley as temperatures surge to 109°F and higher through Monday, with little relief at night. According to the National Weather Service, persistent widespread haze will limit visibility and air quality, especially Friday morning and again Saturday, making outdoor activity risky for sensitive groups. Afternoon highs of 109°F to 110°F and gusty southwest winds could also worsen fire risk and challenge those without reliable cooling, while overnight lows barely dip below the mid-80s—offering scant relief for local residents.
Drivers should watch for reduced visibility on area roads, especially during early morning hours when haze is thickest. Health officials urge everyone to limit strenuous activity outdoors, hydrate frequently, and check on neighbors or pets. Power grid demand is expected to remain high, so residents are advised to minimize electricity use during peak hours. Outdoor events may see cancellations or rescheduling due to both heat and air quality. Those traveling this weekend should be alert for changing conditions and carry extra water and supplies in vehicles.
The extreme heat is expected to persist through at least Monday night, with only a slight cooldown by midweek. Further advisories could follow if conditions worsen. Residents should stay tuned for updates and prepare for several more days of hazardous weather.
