Low wind speeds and falling temperatures should make a pleasant evening for those playing in and watching tonight's area high school football games, according to a local meteorologist.

"It looks pretty good," said Faith Borden, a meteorologist for the Las Vegas office of the National Weather Service. "Skies should be beautifully blue and clear."

Today's forecast calls for a high temperature of 95 degrees this afternoon. And as the games begin about 7 p.m., temperatures should fall to about 91, Borden said.

"By the end of the games, we'll have dropped around 10 degrees," she said. "Actually it will be quite pleasant. . . If you are away from the city a little bit, could be as much as 70 degrees by the end of the game."

Light winds should make it a good night for kickers, punters and passers. Borden said winds will be variable, 5 mph or less, all around the Las Vegas Valley.

Saturday's morning lows in the valley will be in the middle to upper 60s, she said. Mount Charleston is expecting a Saturday morning low of 41 degrees, she said.
