Nevada – Neon reflections fade into a clear desert dawn as mild air settles across the Las Vegas Valley. Jackets feel optional early, and dry pavement offers smooth driving conditions for commuters and travelers heading out before sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, temperatures climb into the upper 60s today under mostly sunny skies. Winds stay light, keeping travel conditions calm along I-15, U.S. 95, and surface roads through the metro. Overnight lows hover in the mid-40s, cool but far from winter extremes.
Saturday brings more of the same. Sunshine dominates, with highs near the upper 60s and calm winds. Outdoor plans, Strip foot traffic, and regional driving benefit from the stable weather. Sunday turns slightly warmer, pushing close to 70 degrees as clouds mix in during the afternoon.
By early next week, the warm trend continues. Monday reaches the low 70s, making travel easy for those arriving or departing for holiday plans. Nights remain mild, generally near 50 degrees, reducing any frost concerns for drivers during early mornings.
Still, meteorologists are watching subtle changes ahead of Christmas week. Models hint at increasing clouds and a growing chance of rain by midweek. While no significant winter hazards appear for the Las Vegas Valley, rain could create slick spots on roads and reduce visibility during peak travel times later next week.
Travelers heading north toward Utah or higher elevations should stay alert. Cooler air and snow potential remain confined to mountain areas outside the valley, but conditions can change quickly during late December patterns.
For now, enjoy the quiet stretch. Plan holiday errands early, stay hydrated during warmer afternoons, and monitor updates as Christmas travel approaches. Are you staying local or hitting the road this weekend?
