The only precipitation we got last night were sticks falling from the trees thanks to the wind. A 33 mph gust was recorded in the Gardnerville Ranchos. It's still blowing a little bit outside, but has settled down. Expect the wind to keep blowing at about 10 mph today. We're looking at partly sunny skies with a high climbing to 53 degrees today. Highs are going to keep climbing next week, flirting with 60s toward the beginning of the week.
