For football players, their families and friends, tonight's forecast is picture perfect, said Kim Runk a meteorologist at the Las Vegas branch of the National Weather Service.

Clear skies, light winds and temperatures in the low 90s once the sun goes down and kickoff times near. By the end of the game, temperatures could drop into the upper 80s, Runk said.

"It's pretty close to normal," Runk said. "It's going to be very pleasant."

Overnight lows are expected in the lower 70s.

The weekend highs remain hot, ranging from 103 degrees to 106 degrees through Sunday.

By Monday, however, highs will reach the upper 90s with clouds and breezy conditions, Runk said.
