Another cold day for late March, but at least we had a full day of sunshine along with light winds.

Temps warm up nicely on Tuesday as high pressure slides east and allows surface winds to shift out of the south.

Clouds and winds will be on the increase Wednesday as a strong cold fornt moves slowly across the region.

At this point, we're not expecting much rain for the valley. Mainly .10" or less for Wednesday and Thursday.

Snow showers are likely in our local mountains both Wednesday and Thursday with 3-6" of snow possible, mainly aove 8,000 feet.

Temperatures will take a nose dive on Thursday before spring-like temps arrive just in time for the weekend.

This is the coldest start to a year in Las Vegas since 1973 when you look at the average high temperature.
