Those afternoon storm chances remain with us all week as a series of low pressure systems move through our area. We could see warmer afternoon highs by the end of next week but the rain chances remain high.

Scattered thunderstorm chances remain through most of our 8-Day Forecast period as instability remains in our area. For now, this activity should calm down late in the week as afternoon highs rise back into the low 80s.

Reno topped out at 90 degrees this Saturday breaking the old record of 89 degrees set on 3 previous occasions. Another 30-percent chance for afternoon thunderstorms arrives for Sunday and in fact for most of the week ahead.

We'll have highs in the upper 80s today with mid 70s for Lake Tahoe. Afternoon highs jump into the low 90s from Thursday to Saturday with afternoon thunderstorms for Friday and Saturday late in the afternoon.

Expect highs in the mid 80s today with all areas reaching the 90-degree mark by Thursday. Slight thunderstorm chances return for Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Mother's Day starts off sunny and dry but then a 40% chance of late afternoon thunderstorms moves into the Reno area. These won't be widespread but you will likely hear thunder during the afternoon and early evening hours. We will top out in the high 70s on Sunday but then jump to near 90 degrees by Thursday. Another slight chance for rain returns next Friday and Saturday.

Slight chances for afternoon showers persist through Wednesday afternoon but we will dry out as we finish the week with highs in the low to mid 70s. Highs in the low to mid 80s return for the coming weekend with a slight chance for thunderstorms by late Sunday.

Slight rain chances remain in our forecast for Monday and Tuesday afternoon but drier and warmer weather arrives later in the week. Highs in the low 80s return next weekend.

Afternoon highs will remain below average with a returning chance of rain on Tuesday. 70 degree highs return late week with highs in the low 80s for next weekend.

Rain chances return to our area starting late Monday afternoon lasting through Saturday of next week. Thunderstorms are also a possibility with 6 to 8 inches of snow in the mountains. I-80 could see delays as well.

Sunday remains warm with highs around 80 degrees and SW winds at 15-25 mph. Rain chances return late Monday and all week long.

We'll stay in the 70s for a few more days and then highs ramp up into the mid and upper 80s by next weekend.

Afternoon highs will remain about 5 degrees above average with a jump into the low 80s by Thursday. There's also a slight chance for some sprinkles Sunday in the late afternoon.

Monday will continue with warm highs in the upper 70s and lows in the 40s. Winds from the SW will increase on Monday and Tuesday dropping our afternoon highs into the lower 60s by Thursday. Next weekend we'll rebound into the upper 60s.

Most locations will hit the 70 degree mark or higher on Sunday for the first time since October of last year. We will drop into the mid 50s by mid week but that cool down will be a brief one. Our 8-day forecast remains rain free.

Snow chances return overnight for a tr4icky Monday morning commute as winter returns to Reno, but only for 1 day! The 70s return in the 8-day forecast.

Sunday will remain mostly sunny until the dinner hour when skies cloud up and snow chances return for Sunday night and Monday. Our next system system will linger into Tuesday with the return to warm weather for next weekend.

This weekend turns mild with high in the mid to upper 50s. Then by Sunday night snow chances return that last through Tuesday.

Conditions remain dry until Sunday night with highs in the mid to upper 50s. A strong storm system moves in for Sunday night through Wednesday morning next week.

Scattered rain and snow chances will continue through this evening before we start a 4-day stretch with warming temperatures and sunnier skies. Another winter storm blows in for Monday and Tuesday of next week.

Snowfall will continue overnight in Tahoe and Reno so tomorrow morning's commute could have some problems. We're only expecting an inch or so in Reno but Tahoe could see 12 inches at Lake Level with 1 to 3 feet of snow above 7,000 ft. We'll dry out by Thursday through the weekend.

We will see rain returning to the Reno area Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening. It'll turn to snow by Wednesday morning resulting ion 1/2 to 2 inch totals in Reno with 3-5 inches in the foothills. The Sierra over 7,000 feet could ge3t 2-3 feet.

The Reno area received between 6 and 8 inches of snow last night in a 4-hour period. There's more on the way this Tuesday and Wednesday. Another 2-3 feet will fall in the Sierra with another 1-2 inches on the Valley Floor.

Saturday evening's dump of light snow saw some locations collecting almost 2 inches in about 2 hours. Our next chance of something like that arrives on Tuesday and Wednesday this coming week. Reno could see another 2 to 3 inches by then with another 2 to 3 feet in the Sierra. Saturday's burst of snow represents Reno's 53rd day of snow on the ground this season.

Afternoon highs this weekend will remain about 15 degrees below average in the mid 40s. There's also a slight chance of a rain/snow mix on Saturday night. Otherwise skies will remain partly cloudy until another strong winter storm arrives for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. We will likely see another 2 to 3 feet of snow in the Sierra with 2 to 4 inches on the valley floor.

The chances for scattered snow showers continues on Thursday

Snow chances remain in the forecast through Wednesday of this week and we could see another 2 -3 inches of snow in Reno by that time. We'll dry out Thursday before more active weather returns by Friday.

Light snow flurries are still possible today as the sun tries to poke through a thick deck of clouds. More sunshine returns for the rest of this week with highs in the mid 40s. Another winter storm moves into our area for the coming weekend with highs returning to the upper 30s. Another 2 to 3 feet of snow is possible for the Sierra with a few more inches of snow on the valley floor.

A major winter storm system is moving back into our area creating hazardous travel conditions that will run from Monday to Wednesday. Winds in the Sierra will create Blizzard conditions with snowfall totals between 4 and 6 feet above 7,000 ft. Foothill snow totals in Reno will likely reach 12-16 inches with valley locations seeing 8 to 12 inches through Wednesday morning.
