Reno drivers may face slick roads on I-580 Friday afternoon as scattered showers push into northern Nevada before a calmer weekend. The system is brief but could affect the evening commute, bringing wet pavement and reduced visibility for several hours. Motorists should allow extra travel time and avoid speeding on rain-slick highways.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, a 40 percent chance of showers arrives Friday, mainly after 2 p.m., with highs near 78. Winds remain light but may shift from southwest to west through the evening. A final round of showers lingers into Friday night before skies begin clearing.
By Saturday, sunshine returns with a high near 79, bringing relief for outdoor events across Washoe County. Sunday follows with another calm and sunny day, keeping highs steady in the upper 70s. The mild and dry pattern is expected to hold into early next week.
Residents planning outdoor activities should enjoy favorable conditions Saturday through Tuesday, but still remain cautious overnight when temperatures dip into the low 50s. Cooler mornings may call for light jackets before warming afternoons settle in.
The National Weather Service says conditions remain stable after Friday’s showers, but another weak system may slide in by midweek. Warnings or advisories are not expected, though brief rain cannot be ruled out Wednesday.
