The month of March came in like a roaring lion on the temperature side in Las Vegas.

Harry Reid International Airport hit a scorching 86 degrees Sunday, shattering the previous record of 82 degrees, set in 1986.

But a major cool-off, with lots of wind, has arrived in the valley.

Clark County is under a wind advisory until 10 p.m. Saturday, the National Weather Service said. Earlier this week, the advisory was issued only for Thursday as a major cold front pushes into Southern Nevada from the north.

The NWS says to expect north winds at 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph through Friday. On Saturday, northeast winds 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph, will buffet the region.

The agency said “gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Instances of blowing dust near dry lakebeds may result in reduced visibility.”

Also, the NWS said “dangerous crosswinds” could affect travel along Interstate 15, Interstate 40 in Arizona and other regional roads. Last month, several semi tractor trailer roll-overs happened on Interstate 11 in Boulder City in the early-morning hours due to strong winds.

The gusty winds have triggered a dust advisory for Clark County until 10 p.m. Thursday.

Daytime highs in the valley will be in the mid-to-upper 60s through Saturday. The average high in early March is 68 degrees.
