RENO, Nev. – A thin veil of fog clings to the Truckee Meadows this morning, muting headlights and dampening the dawn across Reno and Sparks. Air temperatures hover near 34°F, and calm winds have allowed patchy fog to settle along I-580 and U.S. 395, slowing early travel and reducing visibility in low-lying basins.
Drivers should expect variable conditions through midmorning. Use low-beam headlights, reduce speed, and allow extra braking distance where fog thickens near river crossings and open fields. Once the fog burns away, a crisp, sunny stretch unfolds through the weekend — mild days, cold nights, and no precipitation in sight.
Friday’s high will climb near 48°F under mostly sunny skies. Saturday follows with sunshine and calm conditions, while Sunday edges slightly warmer, reaching upper 50s before another cold evening near freezing.
For Thanksgiving travelers, this calm window across northern Nevada offers a chance to prep vehicles and finish outdoor plans before winter weather patterns strengthen nationally. Meteorologists are monitoring a broad cold surge and possible snow corridor stretching from the Rockies to New England between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3. Early model trends suggest 3–8 inches of snow possible across parts of the Midwest and interior Northeast, potentially complicating holiday travel.
Locally, Reno’s late-November pattern stays quiet — clear skies, dry air, and chilly nights dominating through next week. Watch for renewed fog development in valleys during calm mornings and possible light frost as temperatures dip into the 20s.
