Whatever is pinning these cool temperatures down over Western Nevada is welcome to stick around for a bit. The high today will hit 88 with the low tonight in the upper 40s. The mercury will struggle to hit 89 on Thursday and Friday and then finally barely clear 90 over the weekend. Today will be mostly sunny with the wind picking up to 10-15 mph in the afternoon and gusting to 25 mph at times.
