HEADLINE: Beautiful weekend ahead

LOW TODAY: 67 NORMAL LOW: 69

HIGH TODAY: 89 NORMAL HIGH: 92

Top ten afternoon around the valley with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. The good news is that our gusty winds have stayed away for the most part. Most valley locations are reporting winds only 10 to 15mph out of the southwest.

Tonight looks great with lows in the mid 60s under partly cloudy skies and breezy conditions.

A series of storm systems will move across northern Callifornia and northern Nevada now through the holiday weekend.

Even though the cold fronts won't come through southern Nevada, they will get close enough to cool temperatures down a few more degrees along with continued afternoon breezes.

We're not expecting strong winds, but a few gusts around 25mph will be possible at times through the holiday weekend.

Still no sign of our FIRST 100 degree day of the year. Last year, we hit 100 for the first time on May 19th. The normal first 100 degree day occurs around May 24th.

The highest temperature so far this year is 98 degrees back on April 30th.

The current AVERAGE snowpack in the Upper Colorado Basin is 137% of the May 26th average. Last year, at this time, the snowpack was at 64%.

LAKE MEAD TRACKER: Lake Mead is currently at 1053 feet. That's 7 feet higher than it was on April 1st of this year. Lake Mead is expected to rise around 1070 feet by October 1st. Fingers crossed!

Total valley rainfall in 2023: 1.44" (-.61" below normal)
