The weather is expected to be beautiful for Saturday’s No Kings protests in Reno and surrounding communities.
A march is planned from the federal building in downtown Reno to the “Believe” plaza across from city hall, starting at 11 a.m. Oct. 18.
The National Weather Service, which does not have meteorologists staffed to answer questions because of the federal government shutdown, is putting out minimal forecasts.
For downtown Reno on Saturday, the weather is expected to be sunny with a high near 72 and calm winds.
When the event starts at 11 a.m., however, the hourly forecast puts the temperature at about 60 degrees. Layers might be in order.
Carson City has the same forecast, but its No Kings rally near the Legislature starts early at 8:30 a.m. At that time, temperatures are only expected to be in the 40s.
