Las Vegas, Nevada – Neon lights glow against a crisp desert dawn as clear skies settle over the Las Vegas Valley. The air feels cool now, but warmth builds quickly once the sun climbs above the Strip.
According to the National Weather Service, a quiet and dry weather pattern dominates southern Nevada today. Morning temperatures in the 40s rise steadily into the upper 60s by afternoon. Winds stay light, keeping travel smooth along I-15, U.S. 95, and surface streets through the morning and evening commute.
This calm setup marks a noticeable shift from winter chill seen across much of the country. While Arctic air grips the Midwest and East, Las Vegas sits on the mild side of the pattern. Sunshine remains the main story, with no rain expected through early next week.
Saturday turns even warmer. Afternoon highs reach the low 70s, and skies stay mostly clear. Outdoor events, hiking, and Strip foot traffic benefit from ideal conditions. Sunscreen and hydration still matter, even in January, as dry air and direct sun work quickly.
Sunday continues the trend with highs near 71. Some clouds drift in late, but they do little to limit warmth. Overnight lows remain mild, settling in the upper 40s, keeping patios and evening plans comfortable.
By early next week, temperatures level off but remain above average. Monday and Tuesday hover in the low 70s with mostly sunny skies. Winds stay light, and no travel disruptions are expected across Clark County.
This extended stretch of quiet winter weather highlights the sharp contrast across the nation. As snow and ice threaten travel elsewhere, southern Nevada enjoys stable, low-impact conditions for now.
