Reno, NV – A fresh wave of winter-like weather is set to move into Reno Monday night, with snow expected to fall overnight into Tuesday morning. Temperatures will dip into the low 30s, creating conditions ripe for light snow accumulation.
According to the National Weather Service, the snow will begin after 5 a.m. Tuesday, mixing with rain as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. While accumulation is expected to be light, up to 1 inch could blanket the Reno area, making early morning travel a bit tricky. If you’re planning to hit the road early, be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.
As the snow mixes with rain throughout the morning, roads could become slushy, and visibility may be reduced, particularly in higher elevations. It’s advisable to use extra caution while driving and allow for extra travel time. Snow is expected to taper off by mid-morning, with clearing skies by Tuesday afternoon.
Looking ahead, Reno’s weather will remain cool through Tuesday night, with partly cloudy skies and lows dipping to 37°F. The chance of snow should remain low after the morning, but the overall chilly conditions will persist, making for a crisp, cool day.
The rest of the week will bring milder temperatures and clearer skies, but with snow likely on Monday night, it’s important to stay informed about the forecast and plan your travel accordingly.
