Las Vegas Weather Alert: Thunderstorm Risk in Mohave County Sunday, Cooler 80s Return by Midweek
LAS VEGAS, N.V. — Thunderstorms could develop across Mohave County, Arizona, and eastern San Bernardino County, California Sunday afternoon, bringing the potential for gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail, according to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas.
Storm Risk Along I-40 and US-93
Forecasters said isolated storms remain possible into late evening, especially in higher terrain and desert valleys.
Motorists traveling along Interstate 40 near Kingman and U.S. 93 near Lake Havasu City should be prepared for sudden drops in visibility and slick roads if storms flare.
Heat Relief Coming
Temperatures are expected to peak near 98°F in Las Vegas Sunday, but a shift in weather patterns will gradually cool the region.
By Thursday, highs will dip into the upper 80s, about 5–10 degrees below seasonal averages. Southwest breezes will return each afternoon, helping usher in drier and more comfortable air.
Precautions for Residents
Officials advise residents to avoid outdoor activities during storms and secure lightweight items that could be blown around by strong winds.
The storm risk will diminish by Monday, with cooler and calmer conditions settling across southern Nevada and western Arizona.
With thunderstorms possible and cooler weather on the way, residents and travelers should plan for both storm safety and heat relief as the new week begins.
