LAS VEGAS — Grab a bottle of water, or two, out of the fridge. Another round of extreme heat has arrived.

Southern Nevada is under an extreme heat warning, beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting through 8 p.m. Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

“Dangerously hot conditions (will emerge) across the Mojave Desert,” with temperatures ranging from 110 to 120 degrees, the NWS said in a statement. There will be “little to no overnight relief,” with lows of 80 to 95 degrees expected, the agency said.

“This will result in major-to-extreme heat risk,” the NWS said.

Southern Nevada will see temperatures reach 110 and higher starting today and extending through Monday, said Matt Woods, a meteorologist with the NWS office in Las Vegas. The forecast high for Saturday and Sunday is 114, the peak of this new heat wave. Daily high records may be tied and/or broken, Woods said, especially this weekend. The average high for late July is 105.

During a heat wave last week, Harry Reid International Airport saw 114 degrees on July 24, the hottest day of 2026.

Clark County said it has activated cooling stations at community centers, libraries and other buildings across the valley through today.

The cooling stations’ hours will vary depending on the location. The stations will include several locations in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson.

The stations are open to anyone in need of respite from the heat, the county said. Additional information can be found at the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care’s website at helphopehome.org/get-help/.
