LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The desert sky glows pale gold at dawn, still cool from the night but promising another warm, blue-sky stretch across southern Nevada. Early risers feel the calm before a slow shift — the kind of still, dry air that hints at change on the horizon.
After a mild start in the upper 50s, temperatures will climb toward 81°F today, the first in a string of sunny, calm days extending into Veterans Day. Light winds and mostly clear skies will dominate through Tuesday, creating ideal conditions for travel, outdoor ceremonies, and holiday events across the Las Vegas Valley.
By midweek, however, clouds begin to thicken, signaling a subtle transition in the region’s weather pattern. Models hint at a Pacific disturbance sliding inland by Thursday, bringing scattered showers and slightly cooler air into Clark County. Highs will slip from the low 80s to the mid-70s by Friday, with light rain possible along the I-15 corridor and foothill communities.
For now, residents can take advantage of the clear, dry spell — perfect for early holiday travel, outdoor work, or late-fall landscaping. But as the week winds down, it’s wise to check for updates, especially for those heading north toward cooler elevations, where temperatures could drop 10 to 15 degrees by the weekend.
Beyond the weekend, models suggest another trough may deepen over the Southwest, hinting that Nevada’s first true taste of late November weather could arrive just before Thanksgiving.
