Las Vegas, Nev. – A soft, dry wind drifts through the valley this early Monday as the desert wakes beneath streaks of gray dawn. The city glows faintly golden — the kind of calm that defines mid-October in southern Nevada. For now, the Las Vegas weather stays seasonably warm and dry, but subtle shifts are coming by week’s end.
The National Weather Service in Las Vegas reports a steady stretch of sunshine through midweek. Highs reach near 82°F Monday and Tuesday, with calm winds and crystal-clear skies. It’s an ideal setup for morning commutes, pool maintenance, or outdoor events along the Strip. Those traveling across I-15 or US-95 can expect perfect driving weather, though early morning lows near 60°F may feel crisp in outlying areas like Summerlin and Henderson.
By Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures hover around 80°F before dipping slightly into the upper 70s Friday and Saturday. The drop won’t feel dramatic, but it will signal the first cooler push since last week’s mild heat bump. A light north breeze may develop Friday, adding that first faint taste of true desert fall.
No rainfall is expected through the next five days, but longer-range models hint at possible moisture returning late next week, potentially tied to a Pacific system moving inland.
For now, Las Vegas enjoys a textbook October stretch — warm days, cool nights, and skies so clear they could belong to summer. Enjoy it while it lasts; Nevada’s first real fall cooldown may not be far behind.
