Spring has finally arrived in Reno, and it’s bringing exactly the kind of weather we’ve been waiting for. After the cold and unpredictable stretches of winter, this weekend promises mild temperatures, sunshine, and a little breeze—perfect for enjoying the outdoors. If you’ve been itching to get outside, now’s the time to make the most of it. Here’s everything you need to know about the weekend forecast.
A Refreshing Breeze and Comfortable Temps
Get ready for the kind of weather that just feels good. This weekend, Reno is looking at mid-50s to low 60s during the day—just warm enough to shed the winter coat, but not too hot that it’s uncomfortable. It’s the ideal spring weather for getting outside and soaking in the sunshine.
But there’s one thing to keep in mind: the wind. While it won’t be extreme, we can expect winds around 10 to 20 mph throughout the weekend. It’s enough to give you that refreshing feeling when you step outside but could also have your hat flying off or your picnic blanket flapping away. It’s nothing to worry about, but it’s good to know what to expect, especially if you have things you want to keep in place.
Perfect Weather for Outdoor Fun
This kind of spring day practically begs you to get out and enjoy it. Whether you’re planning to hit the hiking trails around Mount Rose, take a leisurely stroll around Virginia Lake, or have a relaxing picnic at Wingfield Park, you’re in luck. The weather is perfect for all of that, and more.
If you’re into outdoor sports, it’s a great time for golf at Washoe County Golf Course or a bike ride through Idlewild Park. If you’re looking to slow things down a bit, there’s nothing better than grabbing a coffee and sitting outside at one of Reno’s cozy cafés, soaking up the day. The temperature is just right—not too hot to make you feel sluggish, but warm enough to feel like spring is truly here.
Cooler Evenings—Don’t Forget Your Jacket
As much as we love these perfect daytime temperatures, don’t forget about the evenings! When the sun sets, temperatures will drop into the mid-30s to low 40s, so it’s definitely worth bringing a light jacket or sweater. If you’re planning on being out in the evening, like catching the sunset or dining outside, you’ll appreciate having a layer to keep you comfortable.
The cool evenings are just part of what makes spring nights so enjoyable—quiet, crisp, and the perfect excuse to sit around with friends or loved ones.
