A ridge of high pressure is developing over the Desert Southwest bringing the warmth, sunshine, and elevated heat risk. Average temps this time of year are in the upper-90s/low triple digits in Las Vegas, so we're above normal for this time of year in June for this next work week.
We'll be in the major category Tuesday and Wednesday meaning that being outside without proper cooling and hydration can lead to serious health impacts. Although the desert is used to the heat, these temperatures are warm for this time of year, and many of us haven't quite acclimatized to them — so take it easy on your body! Drink plenty of water, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and take breaks from direct sunlight.
Southwesterly breezes return overnight and stick around through Saturday with gusts up to 25 mph in the afternoon hours.
Father's Day will be more seasonable with calm winds and temps in the low 100s.
