Reno, NV – If you’ve been longing for some sunshine, Thursday is the day to make the most of it! The forecast is looking bright, with clear skies and mild temperatures that will make it feel like spring is already on its way. Expect highs in the mid-50s to low 60s, perfect for anything from a walk outside to a little backyard relaxation. If you’ve got plans for the day, it’s definitely a good idea to take advantage of the sunshine while it lasts.
But before you get too comfortable in the sunshine, keep in mind that a weather change is coming this weekend. By Friday night and Saturday, a cold front will move in, bringing rain and snow to different parts of Nevada. The mountains will feel the impact first, with snow expected to pile up at higher elevations, possibly making mountain roads a bit tricky. If you’re planning on heading up to the Sierra Nevada, be aware that road conditions could get slippery and travel might slow down.
For those of us in the valleys—places like Reno, Carson City, and the surrounding areas—expect a wet weekend. We’re talking about rain that will start rolling in Friday night and could stick around through Saturday. It’s not going to be a heavy downpour, but it’s enough to make things feel chilly and damp. If you’ve got any outdoor plans, you might want to pack an umbrella and plan for some rain-soaked moments.
Here’s What You Can Expect:
-
Thursday: A gorgeous day with sunshine and mild temperatures. This is the day to get outside and enjoy the nice weather before the rain rolls in. Whether you’re walking the dog, running errands, or just soaking in the sun, it’s going to be a great day for it.
-
Friday into Saturday: That’s when the weather changes. Rain will start moving in, especially in the valleys, and snow will begin falling in the mountains. If you’re heading up to the Sierra Nevada, expect snow accumulation and potentially slick roads. Keep an eye on the weather if you’re planning to hit the road, as mountain passes could be affected.
What This Means for You:
-
Thursday is your chance to enjoy a beautiful, sunny day, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Get outside while the weather’s nice!
-
The weekend is a different story—rain will show up in the valleys, and snow will start falling in the mountains, which could lead to wet roads and slippery conditions in higher elevations. If you’ve got mountain plans, it’s a good idea to check road conditions before heading out.
-
For everyone else, the weekend will feel wet and chilly, so don’t forget your umbrella.
The Bottom Line:
- Thursday will be sunny and warm enough to enjoy the outdoors.
- By Friday night, the weather will change, with rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains.
- Mountain travelers, make sure to check for slick roads and travel disruptions.
Stay on top of the weather as the weekend gets closer, and stay safe if you plan to travel. Whether you’re enjoying the sunny Thursday or gearing up for a wet weekend, it’s always better to be prepared!
