KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas.
We are waking up to some cooler temperatures today, but the trade-off for a break from the heat seems to be a Wind Advisory today.
Justin Bruce will break down what that means and what you should expect for your day ahead.
But before we dive into the weather, we want to remind you that members of our team will be out at Mothership Coffee in Henderson today.
Come meet us to share your concerns and story ideas with us and we'll work to get you answers.

Wind and Dust advisories ahead today as temperatures drop
Strong winds could bring blowing dust to the valley today.
A wind advisory begins at 11 a.m. for Clark and southern Nye counties, including Las Vegas. The valley expects gusts up to 40 mph, but they may hit 50 mph elsewhere.
Crosswinds and spotty power outages are a concern. Clark County has issued a dust advisory today for the expected air quality impacts from the wind.
Meteorologist Justin Bruce says the winds today will be stronger than yesterday and there's also the chance for a few raindrops this afternoon and tonight.
Happening today: PUCN to vote on delaying NV Energy's Daily Demand charge to January
State regulators will vote on delaying a controversial change to your power bill.
The Daily Demand Charge bills NV Energy customers for their highest 15-minute energy use each day.
The utility had asked to delay the changes until October to better educate customers, but a draft order shows regulators want to push it back even further to Jan. 1, 2027.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada will vote on that extension today.
Our Climate Reporter Geneva Zoltek will be following those proceedings and will bring you the latest updates.
She told you just a few weeks ago how NV Energy originally planned to delay that implementation until October.
