Winds will be light, with some breezes expected along the Colorado River Valley, as reported by the National Weather Service . The Wind Advisory for Las Vegas has been lifted early since winds will be weaker than expected.
"The main punch of forcing with the trough axis has already passed through," so winds will be around 25 to 35 MPH today, with gusts easing by the afternoon. Temperatures will be normal, and today will be the coolest day of the week. Clouds will increase tonight and into Wednesday, but no major weather is expected.
Conditions will stay close to normal as the week goes on, as stated by the National Weather Service . The weather looks calm over the next few days, with a low-pressure system possibly bringing some rain to the Sierra, but Las Vegas should stay dry. Winds will be light in the valley and a bit gusty at other airports.
For boaters on Lakes Mead and Mohave, watch out for choppy waters in the morning as winds pick up, but it should calm down later. Spotters should report any major weather changes as usual, according to the National Weather Service ..
