Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Dyer, NV

DISCUSSION
through Sunday.

A ridge over the southwestern United States maintains warm and dry conditions for most of the area through the end of the week. High temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year at most locations. Daily temperature records will be in jeopardy for many regional climate sites - see the CLIMATE section below for more details. Meanwhile, low sun angles and light surface winds promote inversions in certain narrow valleys including Death Valley, which means temperatures will stay relatively cool for those locations through at least midweek.

Zonal flow develops aloft later this week as a system moves into the Pacific Northwest and the ridge over the southwest deamplifies. This pattern allows for improved moisture advection and increasing precipitation chances this weekend, mostly in Inyo and Esmeralda counties. The rest of the forecast area should remain dry with an increase in high clouds.
