Reno, Nev. – A stretch of hot, dry weather is settling into northern Nevada, with temperatures pushing into the 90s and little relief expected in the coming days. Residents across Reno and Sparks should prepare for steady warming through midweek, with near-triple-digit heat possible by Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, Saturday will bring sunny skies and a high near 89, with winds increasing slightly in the afternoon. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 50s, offering limited cooling. Sunday and Monday will stay dry, with highs in the mid-80s to upper 80s, before a more noticeable climb into the 90s early next week.
The pattern will favor strong afternoon sunshine and clear nights, with winds generally light but capable of gusts up to 20 mph. By Wednesday and Thursday, Reno is expected to reach the mid-90s, with Friday topping out near 97 degrees. The dry air and consecutive hot days may stress sensitive groups and increase fire danger in surrounding valleys.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity in the afternoon, and keep an eye on vulnerable neighbors as the heat intensifies.
