by · Las Vegas Review-Journal

If you were seeking cooler or even cold weather, your wait is about over. There could be some stormy conditions as well.

The warmer-than-normal low-90s heat of mid-October should yield to swiftly changing conditions starting Thursday, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast.

A cold front will bring a 30 percent chance of showers Thursday night after a high near 84. A Friday high of 67 is expected. Highs are forecast for the low-70s over the weekend.

Until cooler weather arrives, highs around 90 are expected through Wednesday.

Conditions will be close to similar to winter on Mount Charleston.

A Thursday high near 56 with a chance of rain or snow showers is expected to bring a Friday high near 41 with an overnight low near freezing.

The risk of snow showers remains into the weekend with a forecast high of 44 on Saturday and 50 on Sunday.
