About this listen
We're looking at some serious desert heat here in Las Vegas. A high pressure system is creating what I like to call the "sidewalk sizzle" conditions. Today's forecast? It's gonna be hotter than a slot machine jackpot! We're expecting temperatures around 101 degrees Fahrenheit with light winds shifting from northwest to east northeast in the afternoon.
Let me drop a weather dad joke real quick - why did the thermometer go to school? To get a higher degree!
Now, let's talk weather science in our Weather Playbook segment. Today we're diving into the "heat island effect" - urban areas like Las Vegas absorb and retain more heat than surrounding rural landscapes. Those concrete and asphalt surfaces just soak up solar radiation like a tourist soaking up poolside rays.
Three-day forecast breakdown: Saturday hits 101, Sunday cranks up to 103, and Labor Day? We're looking at a scorching 105 degrees. Pack your sunscreen, hydrate like a champ, and maybe consider cooking an egg on the sidewalk - it's totally possible!
A slight chance of thunderstorms rolls in Tuesday and Wednesday, which might provide some sweet relief from this heat. Think of it as nature's air conditioning.
Speaking of local flavor - this heat is so intense, even the showgirls are saying "it's too hot to sequin"!
