Nevada – Low clouds drift across the Las Vegas Valley as cool air settles in early, giving streets a dull sheen before sunrise. While winter storms stay north, a weak Pacific system brings periods of rain and a noticeable temperature dip into the first full week of 2026.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, spotty showers develop later today and continue at times into Sunday. Rain chances peak Sunday afternoon, though totals remain light. Highs reach the low 60s, several degrees cooler than earlier in the week.
Wet pavement may impact travel on I-15, U.S. 95, and surface roads during heavier bursts. Visibility could briefly drop under thicker cloud cover, especially near the resort corridor and valley outskirts. Drivers should slow down and allow extra braking distance.
Sunday night stays mostly cloudy with additional isolated showers. Temperatures fall into the upper 40s, adding a crisp feel to the air. While freezing conditions are not expected in the valley, higher elevations surrounding Las Vegas could see colder, damp conditions.
By Monday, skies begin to clear. Sunshine returns with highs near 62, signaling a short break before another weak system approaches midweek. Tuesday remains dry and cooler, with highs around 59 and lows in the mid-40s.
Looking ahead, late-week rain chances return, and nighttime temperatures trend downward. While snow is unlikely in the valley, colder air may impact desert travel routes and mountain passes nearby. This pattern marks a subtle but steady winter transition as January progresses.
Plan errands around rain windows today and Sunday. Keep a light jacket handy for cooler mornings and evenings. Conditions improve briefly before the next system approaches later in the week.
