KTNV — Before you get your Friday started, we want to let you know that after all the rain we saw this week, keeping temperatures down, we're going to see a rise into the weekend.
Temperatures reach the low 90s today as south breezes blow at 10-20 mph and a 40% chance of thunderstorms develops.
Any storms could have heavy downpours, lightning, strong wind, and even hail. The rain chance is 40% from midday through afternoon in Las Vegas, then lingers at 20% this evening.
The weekend ahead looks sunny and hot, with highs of 101° Saturday and 105° Sunday. The heat risk reaches the "major" category on Monday and Tuesday (107° and 106°, respectively) so we'll likely catch an Extreme Heat Warning by the time next week rolls around.
Nevada to return to exclusively selling cage-free eggs
Prepare for a change in the eggs you buy. Nevada will officially stop selling non-cage-free eggs. In February, Gov. Joe Lombardo temporarily suspended Nevada's cage-free rule, allowing other egg varieties to be sold.
Bird flu caused high demand for a limited supply, leading to price increases.
The temporary order expires June 20. After that, all eggs sold in Nevada must once again come from cage-free hens.
Anjali Patel previously looked into whether suspending Nevada's cage-free law helped boost egg supply and decrease prices.
