LAS VEGAS — Sweltering high summer temperatures in the Las Vegas Valley could tie or exceed records on Saturday and Sunday and an excessive heat warning for the area will remain in effect until Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
For Saturday, there is a 30% chance the record high for the day of 114 degrees will be equaled or greater and a 45% chance that the mercury will hit or exceed the record of 116 for Sunday, said Matt Woods, a weather service meteorologist in Las Vegas.
“It looks like the heat is going to peak on Sunday, but it’s going to last through the weekend and into early next week,” Woods said. “We’ll probably see some daily records broken this weekend or at least tied.”
