Nevada’s high desert air feels sharp this morning, and sunshine is breaking through fast over Reno. Temperatures started near 40 degrees before sunrise, and a brisk west wind is already stirring dust along I-80. The breeze strengthens through midday, pushing highs toward 57 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, skies turn mostly sunny today with west winds increasing to 15 to 25 mph this afternoon. Gusts could approach 25 mph, especially in open areas east of Sparks. Drivers along I-580 and U.S. 395 should expect occasional crosswinds through early evening.
Clear skies settle in tonight, and temperatures fall quickly after sunset. Lows dip to around 26 degrees by early morning. That kind of cold can refreeze leftover moisture on bridges and shaded ramps. Watch for isolated slick spots during the early commute.
Thursday stays sunny but cooler, with highs near 49. Another cold start follows, with lows near 25. By Friday, sunshine helps temperatures rebound to 51. The warming trend gains momentum this weekend. Saturday reaches 56, and Sunday climbs to 66 under bright skies.
Clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Longer evenings arrive just as early spring warmth builds across western Nevada. Early next week looks even milder, with highs near 71 Monday before easing slightly Tuesday.
