RENO, Nevada – A soft glow stretches over the Sierra as Reno wakes beneath a crisp, dry November sky. The air is still, clear, and cool — a sharp contrast to last week’s passing systems that left the region damp and unsettled. This morning marks the start of a steady warming trend that will carry through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, calm winds and mostly sunny conditions dominate through Sunday. Highs will rise into the mid-60s to near 70°F, while nighttime lows hover in the upper 30s to low 40s, keeping mornings brisk but comfortable. Residents in the Truckee Meadows and along I-80 can expect excellent travel weather, with dry pavement and only light valley winds.
Saturday and Sunday stay pleasantly mild — ideal for outdoor plans, fall clean-up, or early holiday decorating before the next weather change. Even mountain passes like Donner Summit and Mt. Rose Highway should remain clear, offering great conditions for weekend drives or Veterans Day events.
By early next week, models hint at a subtle shift. High clouds build Monday night ahead of a mid-November “winter tease” — cooler temperatures and a slight chance of mountain rain or snow by Wednesday. While accumulation looks minimal, it signals the first of several pattern changes expected before Thanksgiving travel week.
For now, Reno enjoys a calm stretch — blue skies by day, star-filled nights, and that unmistakable sense that winter’s next breath is just over the mountains.
