RENO, Nev. – The morning air feels crisp and still across the Truckee Meadows, the Sierra ridgelines glowing pink against a pale sky. Streets glisten faintly with dew, and the calm, cool start hints at the seasonal shift ahead — Nevada’s early November weather is holding steady for now, but subtle changes are on the horizon.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, the region will enjoy a warm, sunny weekend with highs near 76°F Saturday and 74°F Sunday. Light winds and clear skies will make for perfect travel across I-80 and ideal conditions for outdoor cleanup after Halloween. Morning lows will dip into the low 40s, cool enough to remind residents that winter prep season is here — from insulating pipes to checking home heating systems.
By Monday, temperatures ease slightly into the lower 70s as clouds begin to build. Winds increase Monday night, signaling an incoming Pacific system that could bring the area’s first chance of rain by Tuesday night or Wednesday. Snow levels are expected to fall near 7,000 feet, meaning the higher Sierra passes may see the season’s first wet flakes — a typical early sign of the November transition.
For now, Reno remains firmly in fall’s grasp: crisp mornings, golden hillsides, and warm afternoons that feel like a final reprieve before winter edges closer. Keep an eye on early-week forecasts if you’re planning Sierra travel — and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.
