Reno, Nevada – A prolonged stretch of dry, sunny weather will push temperatures in Reno back into the 90s by midweek, with Thursday marking a notable jump into the upper 90s and elevated fire weather concerns. By Saturday, highs could near 96°F as low humidity and gusty afternoon winds increase the risk across western Nevada.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, sunny skies will persist through at least Tuesday, with daily highs ranging from 91°F Wednesday to 96°F by Sunday. Winds will generally stay between 5 to 10 mph, but gusts could reach 20 mph in the afternoons and evenings, particularly Wednesday and Thursday — a combination that may heighten wildfire risk across foothills and dry brush zones.
