Nevada – Clear desert air greets early risers as neon lights fade and temperatures hover in the low 50s. The morning feels crisp, calm, and dry. By afternoon, jackets come off fast as sunshine does the heavy lifting.
According to the National Weather Service, a stable ridge over the Southwest keeps Las Vegas dry and unusually mild through Thursday. Afternoon highs climb into the upper 60s to near 70, well above typical January levels. Winds remain light, offering little relief from the midday sun.
Across Southern Nevada, winter hazards stay minimal. No rain, no snow, and no major wind events are expected. The main impact comes from wide temperature swings. Early mornings dip into the low-to-mid 40s, while afternoons warm quickly under full sun.
In Las Vegas, today and Wednesday feel similar. Bright skies dominate, and highs reach the upper 60s to low 70s. Overnight lows settle near the mid-40s, keeping frost concerns limited to outlying desert locations.
By Thursday, sunshine continues with highs near 70 again. Roads along I-15, US-95, and surface streets remain dry, supporting smooth travel conditions. To be fair, shaded areas feel cooler early, especially before sunrise.
Friday and the weekend stay quiet. Temperatures ease slightly but remain mild for January 2026. With calm nights and clear skies, desert cooling returns after sunset.
For now, no Weather Alerts are posted, but fire weather conditions stay worth monitoring due to dry air and dormant vegetation. More daylight continues to build this month, adding roughly 40 extra minutes by late January.
