Reno, NV — A cool dawn settles across the Truckee Meadows, the city glowing faintly beneath clear desert skies. The air feels crisp but calm — another quiet start before a string of warm, picture-perfect days. But to the west, November’s colder influence is already forming beyond the horizon.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, conditions will stay mostly sunny and mild through Sunday, with highs rising from 71°F today to near 76°F by Saturday. Winds remain calm and skies clear, making it ideal for travel, outdoor cleanup, or late fall projects before the seasonal shift begins.
Morning lows will dip into the low 40s, creating a touch of chill before the sun warms the valleys. Drivers along I-80 and U.S. 395 can expect good visibility and dry roads through the weekend.
By early next week, a subtle pattern change begins — temperatures will ease downward toward the upper 60s, and clouds may increase. Longer-range weather models continue to point toward a stronger, colder system arriving between November 8–15, potentially delivering the first snow of the season to higher elevations of the Sierra and western Nevada foothills.
For now, Reno’s weather remains in its autumn sweet spot: cool mornings, golden afternoons, and still air drifting over the valley floor. But the coming chill is no longer distant — the high desert is on borrowed warmth.
