The National Weather Service has kept an Extreme Heat Warning in place for Las Vegas and the wider Clark County area through Saturday night, with daytime highs again forecast to touch 110°F. Forecasters say the heat will be accompanied by higher humidity levels, making conditions more oppressive than the city’s typical dry warmth. At the same time, a surge of monsoon moisture is pushing into Arizona and southern Nevada. Meteorologists in Flagstaff expect thunderstorms to intensify each day through the weekend, producing heavier downpours that could trigger flash flooding in burn scars, slot canyons and other flood-prone locations. The prolonged heat has already taken a toll: Clark County has recorded at least 114 heat-related deaths so far this year, a figure local officials caution may rise once outstanding investigations are finalized. Looking ahead, cloud cover and continued storm activity are projected to knock Las Vegas afternoon highs back into the 90s early next week, but overnight temperatures will remain elevated. Authorities are urging residents to limit outdoor activity, stay hydrated and pay close attention to flood and heat alerts.
