Las Vegas is preparing for another bout of windy weather as a wind advisory has been issued for Southern Nevada. The advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. on Tuesday until 5 a.m. on Wednesday, with the National Weather Service (NWS) predicting southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts potentially reaching up to 50 mph. Sam Meltzer from the NWS stated that a cold front moving in from the Pacific Northwest will contribute to these strong winds, which are expected to blow around unsecured objects, down tree limbs, and create pockets of blowing dust. Additionally, dangerous boating conditions are anticipated due to increased wave heights. The temperature is forecasted to peak at 92 degrees on Tuesday, but will drop to 80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday, below the average high of 93 degrees. Last week, Las Vegas experienced minor wind damage that impacted flights and events, including the Electric Daisy Carnival, although Meltzer noted that this week's storm system is not expected to be as intense as the previous one.
