On Saturday, thousands are expected to travel to Carson City for a chilly morning of parade-watching that will warm up for an afternoon of beard judging and mining competitions. Sunday, people may want to bust out their cauldrons as soup weather approaches. Here’s a look at the in Northern Nevada this weekend:
On Friday, Oct. 25, Renoites can expect to wear a jacket as a warm October turns chilly with a high of 72 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Friday will have a low of 36 according to weather.com. Oct. 25 will be mostly cloudy but become more sunny as the temperatures approach the low 70s.
Reno will have a warmer, sunnier day on Saturday as highs reach 75 and a low of 46.
Sunday is expected to be colder, wetter and windier. Renoites may want to stay inside with a warm beverage as the high only reaches 67 and the low dips to only a few degrees about freezing at 36. Reno residents may also experience rain on Sunday as the chances rise from 20 percent after 11 a.m. to 50 percent that evening.
The mountains could also see flurries as the snow level lowers from 8,600 feet to 7,200 feet after midnight Sunday. It may also breezy Sunday with wind from 10-20 mph but possibly reaching gusts up to 35 mph.
Similar to Reno, Carson City will see temperatures reach the mid 70s on Friday and lows in the mid 30s with a cloudy morning that is expected to get sunnier as the day goes on.
As Nevadans travel to the state capital on Saturday, visitors and residents can expect a partly cloudy day with a high of 76 with winds reaching 5 to 10 mph. People should still plan to bundle up for Nevada Day’s morning activities, such as the 8 a.m. Nevada Day Parade when the temperature will be 36.

A recent Review-Journal letter to the editor mischaracterized Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s Southern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, also known as the Clark County Lands bill. As the former executive director of the Nevada Conservation League, I wholeheartedly support this legislation, so I wanted to set the record straight.
Sen. Cortez Masto has been working on this bill for years in partnership with state and local governments, conservation groups like the NCL and local area tribes. It’s true that the Clark County lands bill would open 25,000 acres to help Las Vegas grow responsibly, while setting aside 2 million acres for conservation. It would also help create more affordable housing throughout the valley while ensuring our treasured public spaces can be preserved for generations to come.
What is not correct is that the money from these land sales would go to the federal government’s coffers. In fact, the opposite is true.
The 1998 Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act is a landmark bill that identified specific public land for future sale and created a special account ensuring all land sale revenues would come back to Nevada. In accordance with that law 5 percent of revenue from land transfers goes to the state of Nevada for general education purposes, 10 percent goes to the Southern Nevada Water Authority for needed water infrastructure and 85 percent supports conservation and environmental mitigation projects in Southern Nevada. This legislation has provided billions to Clark County and will continue to benefit generations of Southern Nevadans. Sen. Cortez Masto’s lands bill builds upon the act’s success.
So here’s the good news: All of the money generated from land made available for sale under Sen. Cortez Masto’s bill would be sent to the special account created by the 1998 law. Rather than going to an unaccountable federal government, the proceeds would continue to help kids in Vegas get a better education, bolster outdoor recreation and modernize Southern Nevada’s infrastructure.
I know how important it is that money generated from the sale of public land in Nevada stay in the hands of Nevadans, and so does the senator. That’s why she opposed a Republican effort last year to sell off 200,000 acres of land in Clark County and other areas of the country that would have sent those dollars directly to Washington.
Public land management in Nevada should benefit Nevadans. We should protect sacred cultural sites and beloved recreation spaces, responsibly transfer land for affordable housing when needed and ensure our state has the resources it needs to grow sustainably. I will continue working with Sen. Cortez Masto to advocate for legislation, such as the Clark County lands bill, that puts the needs of Nevadans first.
