Nearly our entire forecast area is under an Excessive Heat Warning Friday - #LaborDay.
Esmeralda, S. Nye + the Clark Co. mountains (Spring/Sheep) are under Heat Advisories due to slightly cooler temps/elevation, but WILL ALSO be unseasonably hot.

Sure, we& #39;ve seen temps 110F+ in #LasVegas this summer. 16, actually. But in September??
@NWSWestern has a product called HeatRisk. Through #LaborDay weekend, the region is HIGH-VERY HIGH risk due to the long duration & unseasonable temperatures.

Don& #39;t forget to take heat-precautions with them as well! Bring them inside when possible. If you& #39;re going for a walk, remember that pavement gets VERY hot. May we suggest booties like these that one of our forecaster& #39;s dogs has?

Lower elevations will be hotter than the mountains, as @NWSPhoenix highlights. That said, if you& #39;re hoping to escape to the Clark Co. mountains for some relief, remember that they have a Heat Advisory of their own, so still take heat precautions!!
