Las Vegas Braces for Wind Gusts and Later Drops in Temperature

The

National Weather Service (NWS) Las Vegas

forecasts promise “Quiet weather through the weekend with warming temperatures through Veterans Day.” A weak system will introduce some variation early in the week, but for those looking to spend time outdoors, the conditions seem just right for a hike or a picnic.

Experts from the

NWS

reported, “Today’s weather will be near or slightly above average with light winds,” making it ideal for outdoor activities. However, by Monday, high-level smoke from the Happy Fire in Southern California may slightly reduce visibility in parts of southwestern Nevada, though the impact is expected to be minimal.

Gusty conditions are about to pick up on Monday afternoon with “sub-advisory level wind gusts of 30-40 mph, including the Las Vegas Valley,” as per previous

NWS

discussions. Outdoor enthusiasts should therefore plan for a windier kick-off to the week as this also signals the approach of a shift in the weather pattern. Travelers should note that areas around the Eastern Sierra and adjacent Owens Valley may face stronger gusts that could play havoc with the traffic across Highway 395.

Looking further ahead, the

NWS

advises a drop in temperatures next weekend courtesy of a “deep fall-like system” sweeping through the region, potentially throwing a wrench into any outdoor plans. While the forecast models hint at stronger headwinds and a possibility of precipitation, the exact details of this next system remain shrouded in the typically unpredictable nature of long-term weather forecasting.

For aviators, especially those heading to or from Harry Reid International, the

Area Forecast Discussion

predicts consistent VFR conditions with only “SCT to BKN high clouds with bases AOA 20kft AGL this evening through this evening.” As the week unfolds, pilots and air traffic controllers alike should stay tuned to updates as the weather system evolves.

The

NWS

concludes with a call to action for local spotters, urging them to “report any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating procedures.” This collaboration between the public and forecasters helps create an accurate, real-time picture of the weather.
