but tomorrow in some spots like battle mountain goes to 60. this is warm for the northeast section of the state. mid to upper 50s is warm. overnight lows, some place also just touch that freezing mark. but most will not. and we'll rebound quickly into the upper 60s to 70 degrees areawide. now we're going with a 72 for you. mammoth at 60. even bridgeport at 66, that is warm for them. carson city goes to 70. and valley, 72. and around the lake, tahoe, south and truckee to the north will hit 60. everyone else will be in the mid to upper 50s. partly cloudy with a south wind at around 15 to 25 miles per hour. and the occasional gust to 30 is not out of the question. sutcliffe, 62ment and susanville is at 64. on the valley floor, overnight lows above freezing in most locations. highs upper 60s to low 70s. thin clouds late in the day. and here are the seven-day numbers. the niitty gritty.
