Nevada — Clear skies stretch over the Truckee Meadows this morning as crisp air settles into downtown Reno. Calm conditions make for an easy start, but winter isn’t finished yet.
Reno begins the day near 42 degrees, warming quickly under full sunshine. Afternoon highs reach around 60 degrees, a comfortable February rebound. Winds stay light, helping conditions feel milder than the thermometer suggests. Travel along I-80 and U.S. 395 remains smooth today, with dry pavement and excellent visibility.
Tonight turns mostly clear, with temperatures dropping near 30 degrees. Cold pockets may form by daybreak, especially in low-lying areas. Drivers should watch for brief slick spots where frost develops early Thursday morning.
Thursday and Friday stay quiet and dry. Sunshine dominates both days, with highs climbing into the low 60s and overnight lows hovering near freezing. It’s a stretch of classic high-desert weather—bright days, cold nights, and calm winds.
Saturday continues the mild trend. Afternoon highs reach about 60 degrees, making it the warmest and most stable travel day of the upcoming weekend. Outdoor plans should be fine through daylight hours.
Changes begin late Sunday. Clouds increase, and a slight chance of rain develops by afternoon. Snow levels remain high near 6,800 to 7,500 feet, keeping valley floors mostly rain-free at first. By Sunday night into early next week, snow levels fall closer to 6,400 feet, raising the risk of snow along Sierra passes and higher elevations near Reno.
Early next week turns cooler. Daytime highs dip into the upper 40s to low 50s, with periodic rain or snow chances nearby. Mountain travel could be impacted, especially during evening hours.
For now, enjoy the calm stretch. Winter weather signals are lining up again just beyond the weekend. Are you planning to travel over the passes early next week, or staying local as conditions change?
