Las Vegans can look forward to a serene weekend with steady weather, thanks to shortwave ridging bringing gradual warmth. According to the
National Weather Service in Las Vegas, NV
, temperatures will rise 2-4 degrees above yesterday’s, nearing the seasonal norms. The city will have an idyllic setting for outdoor plans, with clear skies and gentle breezes complementing the slight increase in warmth. However, skies in southwestern Nevada may be a bit hazier due to smoke drifting over from the Happy Fire in southern California, particularly affecting areas like Inyo and San Bernardino counties.
In the long term, the forecast anticipates a switch-up come Monday. Another weather system is expected to make its way across the region, as per the
National Weather Service in Las Vegas, NV
. Wind gusts could potentially exceed 40 mph, especially in higher elevations, with areas over the Sierra possibly experiencing even stronger winds. While the snow may grace the eastern Sierra during this time, overall precipitation will be sparse, and so will its accumulation. Come Tuesday, a slight dip in temperatures is likely, following the system’s exit.
The continuing pattern throughout the week includes quasi-zonal flow in the midweek, but eyes are already on the next trough, which could make its presence felt by the week’s end going into the weekend. Although there are some differences in the models concerning its characteristics, the consensus points towards a sustained, progressive weather pattern for our area.
For aviators, the outlook remains favorable. VFR conditions are expected at Harry Reid, with light winds following typical diurnal directional patterns. Clear skies are anticipated through the afternoon, with “SCT high clouds with bases AOA 20kft AGL” expected in the evening and continuing into tomorrow. Similarly, other regional airports will experience calm conditions, aside from occasional gusts along the lower Colorado River Valley. Spotter participation is encouraged, with the
National Weather Service in Las Vegas
advising reports of noteworthy weather occurrences through standard operating procedures.
