LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Southern Nevada is waking up to another warm, golden October morning with plenty of sunshine ahead through the Columbus Day holiday. After a mild start in the upper 60s, afternoon highs are expected to surge into the mid-80s under bright, dry skies — ideal for early fall events, outdoor markets, or pumpkin patch outings.
According to the National Weather Service Las Vegas, winds will pick up later Saturday, gusting up to 30 mph along I-15 and across exposed desert corridors. Drivers should secure loads and use caution on open stretches, especially for high-profile vehicles. The sunny stretch continues into Monday, with daytime highs easing slightly into the upper 70s and low 80s, offering perfect conditions for park visits, neighborhood decorating, and holiday travel.
No rain is expected through midweek, keeping humidity low and visibility excellent. However, dry air and gusty winds may create brief dusty conditions near construction zones or rural roads. Residents planning to hike or attend outdoor events should stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and protect pets from heat.
The region remains free of frost or cold snaps for now, but forecasters hint that a shift toward cooler, breezier weather could arrive later next weekend — just in time for mid-October’s true fall feel.
