Cooler temperatures for Las Vegas

Highs to reach only low 70s this afternoon, say forecasters

Say goodbye to the 80s. Afternoon temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler today than they were Wednesday in the Las Vegas Valley.

While Las Vegas will get some clouds, a stalled cold front will bring showers and possibly a few thunderstorms to areas east of the valley today, according to the National Weather Service.

A large Pacific storm will bring periods of breezy to windy conditions Saturday through Tuesday, along with chances for valley rain and mountain snow, the weather service said.

The best chance of widespread precipitation will be Sunday night and Monday, forecasters said.

At 5:56 a.m. today, the temperature at McCarran International Airport was 61 degrees. The normal low for today's date is 47 degrees. The record low was 30 degrees, set in 1955.

Around the valley just before 6 a.m., temperatures were 60 degrees at North Las Vegas Airport, 60 degrees at Nellis Air Force Base and 55 degrees at Henderson Executive Airport.

Temperatures in the valley were to rise today to 67 degrees by 9 a.m., to 71 degrees by noon and reach a high of 72 degrees by 1 p.m., forecasters said. The normal high for today's date is 70 degrees and the record high was 91 degrees, set in 2007.

Temperatures are expected to drop to 70 degrees by 6 p.m., to 62 degrees by 9 p.m. and to 55 degrees by midnight, forecasters said.

Friday's morning low will be 51 degrees and Friday's high will climb to 74 degrees, they said.
