A record-setting 73° today in Las Vegas (prior record is 72° from 1939).
Friday remains very mild, near 72°, which is just shy of the record of 74° from 1958.
Nighttime lows in the upper 40s to near 50° around Las Vegas are expected for the foreseeable future. That's chilly, but nearly 10° above-average for December.
Highs in the upper 60s to near 70° will be the rule this weekend and early next week. Upper 60s will hold the rest of next week.
A weak system may bring a few showers on Monday, December 22nd and Tuesday, December 23rd, but the chance is only 10% as we see it now. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day look partly cloudy, dry, and a little cooler with highs in the low 60s and nighttime lows in the low 40s.
