Nevada – Clear desert air cools the Las Vegas Valley this morning, leaving a crisp feel on sidewalks and a faint shimmer on distant ridge lines. Travelers heading out early for Thanksgiving plans will enjoy dry roads for now, but conditions are set to shift as new moisture arrives later today.
According to the National Weather Service, much of the day stays mostly sunny with light winds, but showers return late tonight as clouds thicken over the valley. These bands may reduce visibility along I-15 and the 215 beltway, especially after sunset when pavement begins cooling faster. While temperatures remain mild, travelers should watch for brief downpours that can slow airport traffic and cause short departure delays.
Friday holds a chance of lingering morning showers before drier air filters in. Highs in the upper 50s keep the day feeling brisk but manageable for local errands, outdoor prep, or early holiday decorating. To be fair, Las Vegas avoids harsh winter conditions this week—but nationally, models hint at a Winter Tease unfolding just as Thanksgiving week begins. Heavy snow looks possible across the northern Rockies, Midwest, and interior Northeast between November 25 and December 3. Anyone flying through Denver, Minneapolis, or Chicago should closely watch storm timing, as even minor shifts could ripple through national schedules.
Saturday turns partly sunny with comfortable November warmth. Sunday brings classic desert sunshine, an ideal window for travel, outdoor gatherings, or final pre-holiday tasks.
