Nevada – Cold air lingers across the Truckee Meadows as the morning sun climbs over the Sierra, lighting frost-tipped rooftops and quiet streets. Breath hangs briefly in the air, and early travelers feel the bite before warmth arrives later today.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures hover in the mid-30s early, with calm winds keeping conditions still but cold. Skies turn mostly sunny, allowing highs to reach the low 60s this afternoon. Roads remain dry, but shaded areas may feel slick during the early hours.
Tonight cools quickly. Lows dip back into the mid-30s, with colder pockets near 30 degrees by early Sunday. While no precipitation is expected, the temperature swing raises the risk of refreeze where moisture lingers from recent days.
Sunday stays mild and quiet. Mostly cloudy skies give way to filtered sun, pushing highs near the low 60s again. Travel conditions remain favorable, though drivers heading over Donner Pass or Mount Rose should expect colder air and lingering snowpack at higher elevations.
Sunday night clears out further, allowing temperatures to fall near 30 degrees. By Monday, bright sunshine dominates, and highs rebound into the upper 50s. Calm winds and dry air make for a comfortable winter day, despite the chilly start.
Tuesday and Wednesday continue the trend. Clear skies and abundant sun push highs near 60, while overnight lows hover around 30. These sharp day-to-night swings are typical for late January and early February in Northern Nevada.
Nationally, winter remains intense east of the Rockies, with nearly half of the Great Lakes frozen solid. That locked-in cold contrasts sharply with the West, where milder, drier air keeps storms away for now.
Plan layers for early mornings, and watch for slick spots in shaded areas before sunrise. Afternoons turn pleasant fast.
