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. Break out the sunglasses and the sunscreen. This is summer preview weather.

Tonight stays mild. Las Vegas drops to 57. Reno settles near 39. Eastern valleys cool to 31.

Friday keeps the heat rolling. 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.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
