LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The desert sky glows before dawn, the Strip lights fading beneath a clear canvas of soft orange and blue. After a mild start, southern Nevada rolls into one of its finest stretches of fall weather — sunny, dry, and near 80 degrees through the weekend.
The National Weather Service in Las Vegas calls for stable high pressure to remain locked over the Mojave Desert, keeping skies clear and winds light. Temperatures will hover around 78 to 80°F through Saturday, ideal for travel, outdoor festivals, and early holiday errands. A few light breezes from the northwest Friday may stir up light dust near I-15 and the western valley, but visibility should remain excellent for regional drivers and flights in and out of Harry Reid International Airport.
Saturday and Sunday continue the golden trend — sunny, mild afternoons and comfortably cool evenings dipping into the upper 50s. Perfect weather for a morning hike at Red Rock Canyon or a late patio dinner downtown. For early travelers or Veterans Day event planners, the calm pattern holds until Monday, when subtle changes begin to show.
By early next week, a shallow trough brushes the Great Basin, nudging highs back into the low 70s and bringing a touch more breeze to southern Nevada. No rain or cold snaps are in sight yet, but long-range models hint at a cooler stretch developing closer to mid-November.
For now, Las Vegas enjoys peak fall comfort — crisp nights, bright afternoons, and clear desert horizons stretching for miles.
