Nevada greets the morning with cool air and clear valley skies, but the shift toward warmth is already underway. Pavement feels cold at dawn, yet sunlight builds quickly over the Truckee Meadows.
Temperatures in Reno start the day near freezing, then climb steadily toward 60 degrees this afternoon. Calm winds keep conditions quiet, and skies remain partly sunny through the day. It feels more like early spring than February by mid-afternoon.
Tonight turns crisp again. Clear skies allow temperatures to fall into the low 30s, creating pockets of refreeze on bridges and shaded roads. Drivers heading late along I-80 should stay alert for slick spots, especially before sunrise.
Monday delivers a cleaner break from winter. Sunshine dominates, and highs reach the upper 50s. The air stays dry, travel remains smooth, and outdoor plans get a rare February upgrade. Cold returns after dark, with lows dipping near the upper 20s.
By Tuesday, the warming trend peaks. Sunny skies push Reno close to 60 degrees again, while light winds keep conditions comfortable. Snowmelt from nearby foothills increases during the day, then refreezes overnight as temperatures fall near 30.
Midweek stays warm and stable. Wednesday and Thursday both reach around 60 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Nights remain cold, hovering near freezing, which keeps burst pipes and icy driveways in play despite mild afternoons.
Meteorologists continue tracking intense winter weather east of the Rockies, but western Nevada sits on the mild side of the pattern for now. No snow or rain appears likely through the workweek.
Layer up early, then shed jackets by afternoon. February temperature swings can still surprise.
