Nevada – Neon reflections shimmer under calm skies as mild air settles over the Las Vegas Valley. Early risers step outside without jackets, a clear signal that February is easing its grip, at least for now.

According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, temperatures climb near 69 degrees today, running several degrees above normal. Skies turn partly sunny, and winds stay light. It’s a comfortable start, especially for morning commuters along I-15 and the 215 Beltway.

That quiet pattern begins to shift late tonight. A slight chance of showers develops after sunset, increasing into Wednesday. Moisture tied to a Pacific system spreads inland, bringing scattered rain to the valley and higher chances across surrounding terrain. Roads may turn slick during brief showers, especially during the Wednesday commute.

Wednesday stays mild despite the clouds. Highs hold near 69 degrees, with light winds but occasional gusts up to 20 mph. Rain chances remain spotty, yet enough to dampen roads and reduce visibility at times. Keep headlights on during showers and allow extra travel time.

Conditions improve briefly Thursday. Skies brighten, and highs reach the upper 60s again. Clouds linger Thursday night, holding temperatures mild. By Friday, sunshine returns in full force, pushing highs to around 70 degrees, a clear spring tease heading into Valentine’s weekend.

The warming trend continues into the weekend, with daytime highs hovering near 70 and cooler nights in the mid-40s. While valley rain fades, mountain snow continues to support regional water supplies.

Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across southern Nevada into early next week. The desert warmth looks ready to linger.

Enjoy the mild stretch, but stay weather-aware midweek. Feeling springlike where you are?
