Nevada opens this Saturday with a cool, gray tone stretched across the Las Vegas Valley as weak early light filters through a thick cloud deck. Pavement looks damp in spots, and the air feels steadier and heavier than the usual desert morning. With Thanksgiving just one week away, travel across I-15, the 95, and the 215 is beginning to intensify, and a developing stretch of wet weather could create slowdowns for early departures.
According to the National Weather Service, Las Vegas sees improving conditions this morning after Thursday’s passing showers. Highs reach the upper 50s today with partly sunny skies, giving residents a brief break before another round of moisture works in. Light winds keep things comfortable, though pockets of low cloud cover may linger near Sunrise Manor and the western foothills.
Thursday marks the next meaningful change, with increasing clouds and a 50% chance of showers by evening. Models suggest scattered pockets of steadier rain—nothing severe, but enough to reduce visibility and dampen highways during peak pre-Thanksgiving travel windows. To be fair, rainfall amounts stay low, yet wet desert pavement often turns slick quickly.
Friday continues the unsettled pattern with a 40% chance of showers through the afternoon. Travel corridors may see intermittent slowdowns, especially along I-15 toward Primm and the California line, where heavier pockets could briefly limit visibility. Drivers should plan for flexible timing and stay weather-aware as holiday traffic builds.
The weekend brings a strong turnaround. Saturday turns mostly sunny and warmer near 66—a pleasant window for last-minute chores or setting up for Thanksgiving gatherings. Sunday reaches the upper 60s under bright, dry skies, offering ideal travel conditions across the valley and surrounding routes.
