Reno, NV – Another stretch of classic summer heat hits Nevada as temperatures climb back into the mid-90s by Thursday, July 17th. Drivers along I-580 in Reno and outdoor workers should prepare now for rising afternoon heat and sun exposure.
According to the National Weather Service, Reno’s high will reach 94°F Thursday with calm winds and cloudless skies persisting into the weekend. No rain or relief is in sight as the region remains locked in a dry, sun-filled pattern.
