Reno, NV – The Silver State greets the first full weekend of December with a springlike surprise — crisp mornings giving way to sunny afternoons near 60°F. High pressure has parked firmly over the Great Basin, holding storms to the north and keeping skies bright and dry across the Reno–Tahoe region.
This stable weather pattern will linger through midweek, with mostly sunny skies and highs climbing into the mid-60s by Tuesday and Wednesday. Early mornings will still carry a chill, dropping near freezing in outlying valleys, where light frost may form on rooftops and windshields.
Winds stay light, rarely topping 5–10 mph, making it ideal for holiday errands, outdoor projects, or early decorating. However, meteorologists note this calm stretch is typical of pre-winter lulls, often followed by sharp pattern changes — possibly toward colder Pacific storms late next week.
Travelers on I-80 and U.S. 395 can expect clear roads and strong sun glare during the day. As temperatures cool quickly after sunset, drivers should still watch for patchy frost in shaded passes or near riverbeds.
