According to the National Weather Service in Reno, Memorial Day (Monday, May 26) will begin mostly cloudy before skies gradually clear by late afternoon. Temperatures will reach a high near 78°F, with light winds increasing to 5–10 mph. Conditions stay dry throughout the day, making it a safe window for outdoor events and travel across I-580, U.S. 395, and into nearby Sparks.
