UPDATE OCT. 31: We've dropped to 29 degrees at the Henderson Executive Airport this morning, and it's 30 degrees at Nellis Air Force Base. These are the first sub-freezing temperatures in the Las Vegas valley since late February. The mercury at McCarran has "only" dipped to the mid-30s. The Freeze Warning is scheduled to expire at 10:00 a.m.
Watch the forecast:
Trick-or-treat temperatures: We'll be in the upper 50s as the sun sets just before 6:00 p.m. Readings around the valley will fall through the 50s into the upper 40s as the evening wears on. Summerlin and neighborhoods in West Henderson will fall to the 40s by 7:00 p.m. The rest of Las Vegas should dip below the 50 degree mark around 9:00 p.m. Please consider wearing layers underneath your costume, or a coat on top, as this will be one of the chilliest Halloween evenings in several years. At least the winds will be on the light side at 5 mph or less.
