RENO – The sound of wind cutting through the valley breaks the early morning calm as clouds race over the Sierra crest. By sunrise, gusts rattle fences and flags across Reno, and light rain streaks across windshields along I-580 — a sure sign fall’s shifting gears again across northern Nevada.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect through 9 p.m. Sunday, with gusts potentially reaching 45 mph, especially along foothill roads and exposed passes. The National Weather Service in Reno notes a 40% chance of light rain before midday, with snow levels climbing to around 8,500 feet. Drivers heading west toward the Sierra should expect slick spots and brief visibility drops in passing showers.
By Sunday night, winds calm quickly and skies begin to clear. Monday marks the start of a long stretch of quiet, dry weather, with highs near 60°F under crisp blue skies. Temperatures climb steadily through midweek — reaching 70°F by Wednesday — perfect for outdoor cleanup or early Halloween decorating.
The mild trend holds through Friday, keeping Trick-Or-Treat weather on track to be dry, calm, and seasonably warm for Reno neighborhoods. Early next week may bring a slight cool-down, and models hint that colder Pacific air could dip south by the start of November — the first sign that a chilly November could follow this pleasant stretch.
