Reno, Nevada – Northern Nevada kicks off August with a stretch of sunny skies, rising temperatures, and virtually no relief in sight for the next five days.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, high temperatures will reach 89°F by Friday, August 1st, with calm winds picking up slightly into the afternoon. Skies will remain clear, with little cloud cover expected through the weekend. Travelers on I-580 should plan for increased glare during peak commute hours and stay alert for heat exposure during extended outdoor activity.
Starting Friday, daytime highs will hover near 90°F through at least Wednesday, August 6th, with overnight lows falling only into the upper 50s. Winds will remain mostly calm, though gusts up to 20 mph are possible Friday night. With no rainfall expected, wildfire danger remains a background concern as dry conditions persist.
Here’s how the weekend shapes up:
- Saturday and Sunday: Sunny with highs of 89°F both days. Winds remain light and conditions stay bone-dry.
- Monday and Tuesday: The heat continues, with Monday hitting 86°F and Tuesday jumping to 90°F again. Nights stay mild in the upper 50s.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat, and avoid unnecessary travel on sun-glared highways like I-580.
Next Update: The extended dry pattern will hold into midweek. Another advisory may be issued if winds increase or fire weather concerns escalate.
