The highs didn’t get higher, but the lows got higher. Why is that?

Great question!
I assume a good chunk of that is about urban heat island effects. Reno has experienced quite a bit of growth during this period, and I believe the climate station is at the airport, which is right where a lot of the city expanded towards and beyond.
Wouldn’t know what else it could be though let me know if you find other good explanations (:
