Nevada Winter Weather Forecast
The Nevada winter forecast is here from weather experts, and if you’re in the area all winter, you’re likely curious about what to expect. Of course, the Las Vegas area isn’t known for its snow like some other areas of the country, but sometimes, it can get quite chilly, at least by Las Vegas standards. Across the state, the mountains are often snow covered, too. So, if you’re in Nevada or planning to head down there for the winter, you’re going to want to hear the latest Nevada winter weather forecast. Here’s what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says about what to expect for this winter.
Nevada Winter Forecast
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its latest prediction for the 2024-25 winter, and it’s an interesting one. Most of the country, according to the forecast, is on target to be likely warmed this coming winter, but a small part of the U.S. will be notably colder. Thankfully, that area isn’t close, as it’s in the northwestern part of the country, mainly the state of Washington. As for moisture, about half of the country is set to have more moisture than normal while the other half is looking at drier conditions. So, most areas of the country are looking to see at least temperatures or moisture different than what the National Weather Service considers normal.
It’s worth adding that the Farmer’s Almanac, in general, predicts temperatures up and snowfall down for most of the country this season. “This winter, temperatures will be up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States,” Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor-in-chief, said. “While there will still be plenty of chilly temperatures and snow for most slopes, the high heating costs associated with the season shouldn’t hit so hard.” Connare added that they’re predicting “temperate, uneventful winter—potentially a welcome reprieve from the extremes of recent years.” I like the sound of that.
So, for the Nevada winter weather forecast, it’s actually pretty boring, as most of the state has an equal chance of having a colder or warmer winter. The very lower tip of the state has a slightly higher chance of a warmer winter, but the rest of the state is equal. For precipitation, again, most of the state has an equal chance of having a wetter or drier winter, but about one third of the state in the southern area has a chance of a drier winter. So, Nevada is looking at a possibly normal winter, according to the NOAA.
