The Nevada Weather Podcast

morning Mon Mar 9th, 2026 Nevada weather update.

Good afternoon. Nevada. I'm Matt Mullins. Before we dive in. You sprung forward this morning. Yeah, you lost an hour of sleep. But here's your reward: sunset tonight is after 6:40 P.M. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every single day now. And spring officially arrives in just 12 days. Step outside right now and you'll feel what a perfect early March day looks like. Wall to wall sunshine. Clear skies from border to border. And temperatures climbing into the 70s across most of the state. Las Vegas hits 76 degrees this afternoon under brilliant blue skies. Light north winds around 6 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 51 degrees — perfect evening weather if you ask me. Up in Reno and the northern valleys. Here comes 71 degrees today. But here's the thing: tonight plunges to 38 degrees. That's a 33 degrees swing, so if you're heading out late, layer up. Eastern Nevada reaches 64 degrees with southwest winds gusting to 10 miles an hour. Tonight falls to 33 degrees. Now here's where it gets interesting. Monday brings even more warmth. Las Vegas climbs to 79 degrees. Reno hits 70. Eastern areas reach 64 again with breezy southwest winds up to 15 miles an hour. Tuesday cools briefly as a weak trough passes through northern Nevada. More clouds, slightly cooler temps — Reno drops to 64, eastern areas to 53. Winds pick up Tuesday afternoon, gusting to 35 miles an hour in spots. But that cooldown? Short lived. By Wednesday, sunshine returns and temperatures start climbing again. Las Vegas reaches 80 Wednesday, then 85 Thursday. And could hit 88 by Friday. Here comes 25 degrees to 20 degrees above normal by week's end — potentially record territory for mid March. If you're spending time outdoors this week, stay hydrated. Early season heat catches people off guard. Enjoy the beautiful day today. See you this evening.

Good morning. Nevada. I'm Michael Nally. First things first. Spring forward! Daylight Saving Time kicked in at 2 A.M., so you just lost an hour of sleep. The trade-off? Sunset now comes at 6:42 P.M. More daylight this evening means you can actually enjoy the outdoors after work. And what a week to enjoy it. High pressure is settling over the Great Basin like a warm blanket, bringing sunshine and temperatures that'll make you forget it's early March. Las Vegas hits 76 degrees today under clear skies. Light north winds around 6 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 51 degrees — perfect for patio weather if you ask me. Reno climbs to 71 degrees this afternoon. That's well above normal for this time of year. Light southeast winds. Tonight's low dips to 38 degrees. Over in Elko, expect 64 degrees with light southwest winds. Tonight falls to 33 degrees under mostly clear skies. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday stays sunny and warm — Las Vegas hits 79. Reno reaches 70. Elko climbs to 64. Tuesday brings a slight cooldown as a weak cool front pushes through northern Nevada. Expect breezy west winds gusting to 35 miles an hour in some spots. Temperatures drop a few degrees, but stay dry statewide. By Wednesday, the warming trend resumes. Las Vegas climbs back into the upper 70s, approaching 80 degrees. Thursday and Friday? Even warmer. Las Vegas could hit 85 Thursday and 88 Friday. That's 25 degrees to 20 degrees above normal. Record territory is within reach by next weekend. Stay hydrated if you're spending time outdoors late week when temperatures soar. See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Nevada. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside and you might need sunglasses in Las Vegas but a parka in Ely. That's classic Nevada for you. We've got a massive temperature spread statewide today. Down south, you're basking in 77 degrees under clear skies. That's ten degrees above normal for early March. Up north? Reno tops out at 69, but Ely starts the day shivering at 28 degrees. The real story is the wind. The Sierra ridges are getting hammered today. Gusts are peaking at 80 miles an hour up there. That's enough to knock a hiker off balance. Here's the breakdown. Las Vegas climbs to 77 today with a light breeze at 7 to 13 miles an hour. Tonight cools to 51. Then Sunday soars to 79. By midweek, we flirt with 88 degrees. Spring is here early and it's not looking back. Reno sits pretty at 69 today. It stays pleasant with mostly clear skies. A weak cool front Tuesday knocks temps down slightly. But 70s return by Thursday. Ely wakes up to 28 degrees. You only hit 63 this afternoon. Winds shift from northeast to southwest, but moisture is nowhere to be found. A cool-down Tuesday drops highs to 53. Then 60s return by the weekend. Looking ahead, a stubborn ridge of high pressure parks over the West. This locks in dry, sunny days and unseasonably warm afternoons. Southern Nevada could hit 89 by next Saturday. That's nearly 25 degrees above normal. Northern valleys settle into the 70s. One last note before you go. Don't forget to set your clocks forward tonight. We're gaining daylight fast. Sunrise is at 6:04 AM and sunset is at 5:41 PM. The spring equinox is just 13 days away. See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Nevada. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you've got anything on your patio that isn't nailed down. Go check on it. The wind is absolutely cranking today. Las Vegas sees gusts to 30 miles an hour. Down along the Lower Colorado River Valley? That jumps to 50. And the Sierra ridgetops are getting hammered — 60 to 70 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that makes you lean just to walk straight. Southern Nevada wakes up at 48 degrees this morning and climbs to a comfortable 66 by mid-afternoon under sunny skies. Tonight drops back to 48. Up north, you're starting colder — 26 degrees around 7 A.M. — but you'll warm nicely to 52 by this afternoon. Eastern Nevada splits the difference, topping out at 47 today before falling to 23 tonight. Those winds ease up overnight, but Saturday brings round two. Gusts could hit 55 miles an hour across lower elevations, with 60 possible in the mountains. Wind Advisories stay in effect through Saturday evening. If you're boating on Lake Mead or Lake Havasu, expect rough conditions with wave heights between 2 and 4 feet. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Saturday stays breezy but sunny — 70 in Las Vegas, 58 up north. Then Sunday? The warmth really kicks in. Vegas hits 78 degrees, well above normal for early March. By Monday. Here comes 82. The warming trend continues through midweek, with temperatures running 23 degrees above normal. Wednesday could touch 84 in Las Vegas. Northern Nevada stays sunny too, with highs in the low 70s all week. Dry conditions dominate — no rain in sight except a slight chance Monday afternoon south of Interstate 40.

Good morning. Nevada. I'm Aaron Jolly. Nevada is putting on a show today. Down south in Las Vegas, you're sitting pretty at 58 degrees under blue skies, cruising toward 67 this afternoon. But those north winds? They mean business. Gusts hitting 33 miles an hour will remind you it's still March. Tonight drops to 47 under mostly clear skies. In the next 24 hours. Push north to Reno and Elko. And it's a completely different day. Reno tops out at 50 degrees with sunshine and light winds — sounds nice, right? Then the bottom drops out. Tonight plunges to 26 degrees. That's a 24-degree nosedive. If you're heading out after dark, layer up. Eastern Nevada is living in a different season entirely. Scattered snow showers roll through from 6 A.M. Into the afternoon, peaking around 10 A.M. With a coin flip chance of accumulation. Highs only reach 43 degrees. And west winds gusting to 25 miles an hour will make it feel even rawer. Winter Weather Advisory stays active for the Ruby Mountains and northern Elko County through 7 P.M. Here's where it gets interesting. A warming wave builds Friday and keeps rolling through the weekend. By Monday, we're running 23 degrees to 23 degrees above normal statewide. Southern Nevada could kiss 81 degrees. Northern Nevada might see its first 70-degree day of 2026. One more thing — tonight's full moon rises right at sunset. With clear skies across most of the state, it should be spectacular. We're also gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Spring equinox is just two weeks out. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Nevada. I'm Aaron Jolly. Sixty-eight degrees in the south right now. Feels more like May than March, doesn't it? But here's the reality check: drive a few hours north and you're hitting the brakes in a winter wonderland. In the next 24 hours. Northern Nevada is sitting at a brisk 27 degrees this morning. Eastern Nevada is even colder at 26 degrees. And that moisture moving in tonight means scattered rain and snow showers. If you're traveling toward Northern Elko County or the Ruby Mountains, you'll want to rethink your timeline. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 7 P.M. Thursday. We're talking about up to 11 inches of snow in the higher elevations, with winds gusting to 50 miles an hour. That's serious mountain weather. Down south, the wind is the main event. A Wind Advisory kicks in at 1 A.M. Thursday and runs straight through to 10 P.M. Gusts could hit 50 miles an hour, creating patchy blowing dust between 8 A.M. and 3 P.M. Tomorrow.

Looking ahead, a major warming trend builds Friday through Monday. Southern Nevada could hit 79 degrees by Monday—that's about 22 degrees above normal. The north climbs into the 60s and low 70s. Spring is definitely knocking. In You'll catch sunrise at 6, 08 A.M. and sunset at 5:39 P.M. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight today. Grab that extra blanket tonight.

Good morning. Nevada. I'm Aaron Jolly. Nevada is having three completely different days today. Down south, you're basking in summer-like warmth. Up north, winds are howling. And out east. Snow is on the way. In the next 24 hours. Currently, we're sitting at 48 degrees under clear skies. That's our starting point, but where you live determines where this day goes. Let's start in Southern Nevada. Las Vegas climbs to 77 degrees this afternoon. That's about 20 degrees warmer than usual for early March. Sunny skies all day with south winds gusting to 21 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 52. Head north and the story shifts. Northern Nevada sees a high of 57 degrees under mostly sunny skies. But here's the headline. West winds gusting to 45 miles an hour. That's strong enough to make driving tricky for high-profile vehicles. Tonight, temperatures crash to 26 degrees. Eastern Nevada? A whole different world. Rain showers start after 10 A.M. Then as colder air arrives tonight, that rain switches to snow. Scattered snow showers continue through Thursday morning. The Ruby Mountains could see up to 11 inches. Tonight's low drops to 27. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Northern Elko County and the Ruby Mountains from 4 P.M. Today through Thursday evening. Travel could be difficult. A Wind Advisory covers Mineral and Southern Lyon Counties from 1 P.M. To 10 P.M. Today. Gusts could hit 55 miles an hour.

Good morning. Nevada. I'm Aaron Jolly. Nevada is absolutely gorgeous right now. A big ridge of high pressure is parked over us. And it's giving us a spring preview that feels almost too good to be true. Soak up every minute. Because a storm is already sharpening its teeth to the west. In the next 24 hours. Right now. Las Vegas is the star. Sunny skies, a high of 76 degrees. And tonight stays mostly clear with a low around 51. Tomorrow pushes even warmer. 79 degrees. That's patio weather, folks. Drive north to Reno and you're still looking at a gorgeous day. 63 degrees under blue skies. But tonight drops to 35 degrees. And tomorrow the script flips. A cold front slides in bringing rain after 10 A.M. West winds gust to 40 miles an hour by afternoon. That calm morning coffee on the porch? Enjoy it while the air is still. Now over to Elko. Today hits 56 degrees. Tonight dips to 29. Tomorrow afternoon, rain showers develop after 3 P.M. Then the real kicker. That rain turns to snow overnight. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in Wednesday at 4 P.M. For the Ruby Mountains and Northern Elko County. We're talking up to 11 inches in the higher elevations. If you're planning travel through those passes Wednesday night or Thursday morning, give yourself extra time and extra patience. For your week ahead. Wednesday and Thursday belong to the storm. Rain in the valleys, heavy mountain snow, gusty winds. Then Friday the high pressure muscles back in. Temperatures climb through the weekend. By Sunday, southern Nevada flirts with the upper 70s again and the north settles into the upper 60s. One more thing worth noticing tonight. A full moon rises right at sunset. Step outside and look east. It's worth it. I'll be tracking that midweek storm all night. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. February is going out like a lion. If that lion decided to sunbathe instead of roar. A massive ridge of high pressure is parked over Nevada. and it's cranking up the heat like we skipped straight to spring break. In the next 24 hours. Southern Nevada? You're hitting 84 degrees this afternoon. That's shorts and sunglasses weather. Northern Nevada climbs to 69 — still plenty warm for late February. Even Eastern Nevada, waking up to a crisp 33 degrees this morning, shoots up to 59 by mid-afternoon. That's a 26-degree swing before lunch. The north gets a little twist today. A weak weather system is sneaking along the Oregon border, bringing a slight chance of showers to Northern Nevada between 7 A.M. and noon. We're talking light stuff — maybe a tenth of an inch if you see anything at all. Eastern Nevada gets a better shot at rain between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M., with about a coin flip on whether you'll need an umbrella. Snow levels stay way up at 8,000 feet, so this is all rain in the valleys. Tonight stays mild statewide. Southern Nevada drops to 58 degrees. Northern Nevada falls to 43. Eastern Nevada settles at 38, with that light rain lingering through 10 P.M. Before it finally clears out. Sunday cranks the heat even higher. Southern Nevada peaks at 86 degrees — we're talking record-flirting territory. Northern Nevada reaches 63 under mostly cloudy skies. Eastern Nevada climbs to 63 as well, but rain chances return after mid-morning with a 40 percent shot at light showers. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday flips the script. Cooler air moves in with widespread rain, especially in the north and east. Tuesday brings a brief break, then another storm system arrives Wednesday and Thursday. Snow levels drop to valley floors by Wednesday night, so the mountains could see real accumulation mid-week. Soak up this warmth while you've got it. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Nevada Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Fifty-seven degrees at sunrise. That's not a typo. We're starting warm and climbing fast. High pressure from Baja California is parked overhead, pumping in air so warm it could challenge records set back in 1986. This isn't your typical late February day. Down in Las Vegas, you're hitting 83 degrees this afternoon. That's 28 degrees above normal. Northern Nevada around Reno climbs to 66. Even the eastern valleys warm to 58.

Las Vegas reaches 84. Northern areas hit 68. Eastern valleys climb to 62. Light winds and clear skies make it perfect for getting outside. Saturday brings the warmest day of the stretch. Las Vegas could hit 87 degrees, potentially breaking that 1986 record. But A Pacific low pressure system arrives late Saturday, changing everything. Rain chances develop, especially in northern and eastern Nevada. Mountains could see snow showers above 7,500 feet. Sunday through Tuesday, that system parks over the state. Expect cooler temperatures and scattered showers. Las Vegas drops to the low 80s. Northern valleys fall to the upper 50s. Rain chances continue, particularly in the mountains. By Wednesday, another system could approach, but forecasters are still watching the timing. Spring equinox is three weeks away. And we're getting a preview. Today.

You'll hit 79 degrees. Clear skies all day, barely a breeze. Tonight drops to 56, then Thursday you climb to 83. Friday stays at 83. And Saturday? We're pushing 87 degrees. That's not just warm for late February — that's flirting with record territory. Up in Northern Nevada, it's a different morning. You've got mostly cloudy skies and 42 degrees. Rain showers are wrapping up through midday, then we clear out. High today reaches 62 with northwest winds gusting to 15 miles an hour around 7 A.M. Tonight you drop to 35. And it'll feel like 37 degrees around 7 A.M. Thursday with those winds still pushing through. Thursday climbs to 66, Friday hits 68. Over in Eastern Nevada, rain is still falling.

Rain and wind that'll test your umbrella's will to live. Down south, you're in for a treat. Vegas hits 75 by 3 P.M. — that's 28 degrees warmer than normal for late February. Winds stay polite, shifting northwest to northeast around 9 A.M. Tonight drops to 53 under clear skies. Wednesday? Sunny and 80. By Friday, we're flirting with 85. Pool weather in February. Nevada doesn't play by the rules. Now head north. Rain rolls into Reno at 4 A.M. And sticks around until noon. But the real story is the wind. Gusts hit 50 miles an hour in spots like Washoe Valley. Wind Advisory runs until 7 P.M. Highs struggle to 59, but with that wind howling, it'll feel colder. Rain tapers tonight, but those gusts linger. Wednesday brings sun and 61 degrees. Weekend? Mid-60s and dry. Eastern Nevada, you're catching the worst of it. Ely sees rain starting at 7 A.M. And it doesn't quit until 3 A.M. Wednesday. Twenty hours of steady rain. Highs today only hit 52, with winds at 10 to 15 miles an hour. Tonight's low? 32, feeling like 27. Thursday brings relief — 58 and sunny. One heads up. Gusts along I-580 could hit 65 miles an hour. Enough to knock down trees or power lines. Lake Tahoe sees waves up to 5 feet. Secure your patio furniture. If you're driving something tall, slow down. The week ahead? Southern Nevada stays hot through Friday. Northern Nevada rebounds to the 60s by midweek. A possible storm Sunday, but models are still arguing about it.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Nevada Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. And folks, Nevada is doing what it does best.. Being two completely different places at once. Down in Las Vegas, you're waking up to 45 degrees and heading straight for 72 by 3 PM. That's 20 degrees warmer than normal for late February. Tonight stays mild at 48 with partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow? Even better — 75 degrees under sunshine. This is the kind of weather that makes you forget winter exists. But drive north and you're in a different movie. Reno starts at 27, Ely at 20. You'll climb to 55 in the north, 51 in the east today.. But that's just the setup. After midnight, rain moves in. By 4 AM, showers are likely across northern and eastern Nevada. Tuesday brings the real show. Rain spreads across the north and east, with snow levels starting above 7,000 feet. Most valleys stay wet, but mountain passes could get slushy. Winds gust 30 to 45 miles an hour in exposed spots — the kind that'll remind you why you tied down the patio furniture. Here's the split. Southern Nevada? Dry and warm all week. Las Vegas hits 80 by Friday. Northern and eastern regions see on-and-off rain through Wednesday, then dry out Thursday. By Friday, Reno rebounds to 65. The week ahead tells two stories. The south climbs from 72 today to 83 by Sunday — pure spring preview. The north and east start wet, then warm back up from 55 today to 65 by Friday. If you're commuting north or east Tuesday morning, give yourself extra time. That rain hits right when you need it least. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Nevada Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Nevada's doing its thing today: three states in one.

Step outside in Las Vegas right now and you'll feel spring knocking. Clear skies, light breeze. And you're cruising to 67 degrees by 4 PM. Perfect day for a hike without the heavy jacket. Head north to Reno and it's a different story. You woke up to 22 degrees with wind chills near 18 around 7 AM. That's the kind of cold that makes your car seat feel like a block of ice. But hang tight — you'll hit 49 degrees by 4 PM. Mostly sunny, winds shifting west around 1 PM. Push east to Ely and you got the short end of the stick this morning. Thirteen degrees at sunrise. Light winds, partly sunny skies. And a high of 45 degrees by 3 PM. Not terrible, but you're definitely bundling up for that morning coffee run. Tonight, Southern Nevada stays mild at 44 degrees. Northern Nevada drops to 26. Eastern Nevada? Twenty degrees. Dress warmly if you're heading out late. Looking at the week ahead. Southern Nevada stays dry and warms up big time — 83 degrees by Saturday. Northern and Eastern Nevada? Tuesday brings rain, likely soaking you with a 60 percent chance.
