A significant ridge of high pressure is about to take hold of the region and we'll find ourselves in triple-digit territory in Las Vegas. Tuesday we will see 97 in Las Vegas which is on par with the heat we had Monday. However, there is less of a breeze to help keep you cool. Sustained winds will stay under 10mph with the occasional gust up to 20mph. Through the work week, we'll see temperatures climb into the low triple digits.

As we observe this Memorial Day, we're going to quickly warm up into the 90s by mid-day reaching a high temp of 98 degrees in Las Vegas. If you're heading to Lake Mead, that high temp will be 103 degrees. Keep this in mind, as breezes developing from the southwest might trick you into thinking it's not as hot. Drink plenty of water, take breaks from the sun, and stay hydrated. Wind picks up regionally in the afternoon hours with sustained wind speeds around 15mph and gusts possible up to 25mph.
