Reno, NV — Residents in Reno and surrounding areas can expect hazy skies through the end of the week as smoke from the nearby Park and Crozier Fires continues to settle near the surface. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Reno reports that the smoke will cause reduced air quality, especially during the morning hours, with some improvement expected later in the day. However, westerly winds are forecasted to push smoke back into the region by the afternoon, keeping the haze around until at least Friday.
The forecast for Reno shows temperatures climbing into the mid-90s, with today and Friday both expected to reach highs of 96°F. The heat will continue into the weekend, with slightly cooler temperatures on Saturday at 94°F and Sunday at 93°F. Despite the persistent heat, skies are expected to remain mostly clear apart from the smoke, with no significant chance of precipitation in the forecast.
Looking ahead to next week, temperatures will gradually cool, with highs dropping to the upper 80s by Monday and Tuesday. Morning lows will range from the mid-50s to the low 60s, providing some relief from the daytime heat. Residents are advised to take precautions against both the poor air quality and the high temperatures, particularly during the peak afternoon hours.
