According to the National Weather Service in Reno, generally pleasant fall conditions are expected through much of the workweek following gusty winds Monday, Oct. 26. A changing weather pattern Friday and beyond will increase the likelihood of valley rain showers.
Tuesday, Oct. 27, will bring partly cloudy skies and an afternoon high near 64 degrees in Reno. Temperatures are expected to fall to approximately 32 degrees overnight, creating a significant contrast between daytime and nighttime conditions.

The biggest change arrives Saturday, Oct. 31, when Reno's afternoon high is forecast to reach only 54 degrees, accompanied by increasing chances of rain showers.
The potential for wet weather could affect Halloween celebrations, outdoor gatherings and evening travel throughout Reno, Washoe County and nearby communities.
