Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Goldfield, NV

DISCUSSION
through next weekend.

Upper-level ridging largely remains in place this week, with just some slight fluctuations as a weak disturbance passes through mid- week. During this time, temperatures stay 2-6 degrees above normal, resulting in quite pleasant weather across the region. Some periodic breeziness is possible mid-week, but not expecting anything impactful. Precipitation chances remain below 10% through Friday afternoon.

Late in the week, the pattern becomes more active with a closed low set to develop off the SoCal/Baja coast and a larger trough in the northeast Pacific. Guidance is coming into better agreement on the placement and phasing (or lack thereof in this case) of these systems. Latest runs have the closed low coming ashore late Friday and into the weekend. There remains a fair amount of track uncertainty, but the southern track shown in most guidance results in low (10-30%) PoPs across the southern half of the CWA Friday night into Saturday with limited temperature and wind response. As for the larger trough, timing looks most likely to be late in the weekend and into the following week. Uncertainty is still moderate to high, but this second system looks more favorable for widespread precipitation, cooler temperatures, and increased winds.
