Reno, NV – A stretch of classic fall sunshine is taking hold across northern Nevada this week, bringing mild afternoons and crisp mornings ideal for outdoor plans and Halloween prep.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, calm conditions and above-average temperatures will dominate through Thursday, October 9, before a slight cool-down arrives Friday. Residents planning leaf-peeping drives along I-580 or fall errands in downtown Reno can expect smooth travel and dry skies.
Tuesday and Wednesday will feature highs in the mid-70s with light winds. Thursday remains sunny with a high near 72°F, perfect for outdoor lunch breaks or evening walks along the Truckee River. By Friday, temperatures dip slightly to the upper 60s, with a slim chance of showers late in the evening.
Weekend plans should stay pleasant, with Saturday and Sunday seeing highs near 80°F under mostly sunny skies. Nights will turn cool, with lows dipping into the mid-30s—ideal for those early pumpkin patch visits or backyard bonfires.
Looking ahead, early next week brings continued sunshine and mild daytime highs before another cool front may arrive mid-October.
Reno residents should enjoy this calm window now—conditions are expected to shift toward colder, windier weather later this month.
