RENO, Nev. – The Truckee Meadows wake under a soft blue sky this morning, the air crisp and still with a touch of mountain chill. Early sunlight glints across rooftops while a few wisps of fog cling to the low-lying valleys west of town. It’s a picture-perfect start to what will be another bright, quiet stretch across northern Nevada.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, skies remain clear today with highs near 71°F and light winds. It’s classic late-October weather—dry, calm, and unseasonably mild. Commuters along I-80 through Sparks and Fernley can expect excellent visibility through the morning, with no travel hazards in sight.
As the week unfolds, the pattern holds steady. Thursday and Friday bring highs again in the low 70s, with just a few passing clouds drifting in from the west. For Halloween evening, Reno will see ideal Trick-or-Treat conditions—temperatures near 65°F at sunset, light winds, and dry pavement across the metro area. Even through the Sierra foothills, conditions remain stable for outdoor events and travel.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday stay mostly sunny with highs near 75°F before a cooler breeze edges in early next week. Lows will dip into the 40s each night, adding a crisp reminder that November is near.
To be fair, Reno’s holding onto its fall warmth longer than most western cities—but that won’t last forever.
After all, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, and a chilly November waits just over the horizon.
