Reno and Lake Tahoe are set for a warm, sunny Labor Day before storm chances return later this week.

The National Weather Service in Reno says highs will reach the mid-90s in Reno on Monday — about 5 degrees above average for early September — with mostly clear skies. At Lake Tahoe, highs will be in the mid-80s, also warmer than usual for the holiday.

Patchy smoke from the Garnet Fire in California could drift into the region at times, but most of the holiday will be clear.

Here’s a closer look at the forecast for Reno and the Sierra:
