Mid sixties tonight

Sunny and hot tomorrow

Record breaking heat


Clear and mild tonight with lows in the mid 60s. The dry and unseasonably hot weather continues this weekend as high pressure stays over Southern Nevada. Average high temperature is 72° and we’re going to be more than 20 degrees above that later this week.
Record breaking heat continues through the week and into the weekend. An Extreme Heat Warning in effect starting on Wednesday 11am-Sunday 8pm. Limit time outdoors between 10am-5pm, stay in air conditioning when possible and drink plenty of water and sports drinks. Wear a hat and sunscreen if you’re going to be outside. Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles and remember to check on neighbors and the elderly.
These temperatures are more typical of early June than mid March. The hottest temperature on record in March is 93° (set in March 2022) and that record will be broken during this unprecedented heat wave and daily record highs will be shattered.

Wednesday 95° (Record 90° ) Thursday 97° (Record 90° ) Friday 98° (Record 90° ) Saturday 97° (Record 92°) Sunday 94° (Record 91°) Monday 91° (Record 89°)
