Nevada – A mild, breezy start is already unfolding across Reno this morning, with clear skies giving way to strengthening winds that will pick up through the afternoon. Drivers are seeing dry pavement now, but crosswinds will become the main concern by midday.

According to the National Weather Service in Reno, temperatures climb to around 77°F today with west winds increasing to 15–20 mph. Gusts could reach up to 35 mph, especially during the afternoon. Those winds will impact travel along I-80 and US-395, where sudden gusts can push high-profile vehicles.

Across Washoe County, including Sparks and Sun Valley, the same pattern holds. Warm sunshine dominates, but the wind adds a sharp edge to the day. Outdoor objects may shift, and drivers should keep both hands on the wheel during stronger gusts.

The warm-up continues into Tuesday, with highs peaking near 81°F under sunny skies. Breezy conditions remain, keeping fire weather concerns slightly elevated due to dry air and wind.

By Wednesday, March 25, temperatures ease slightly to around 79°F, though winds remain active. Conditions stay dry, with no precipitation expected through midweek.

Looking ahead, a more noticeable cooldown arrives Thursday, with highs dropping to near 69°F and lighter winds returning. The rest of the week trends calmer and seasonable.
