Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Dyer, NV

DISCUSSION
through next weekend.

Temperatures today will be slightly warmer than yesterday with dry and mild conditions hanging on for one more day. Southerly winds will begin to pick up in the Owens Valley and across the southern Great Basin today out ahead of the incoming weather system poised to impact the region on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will decrease and winds will pick up across the region on Tuesday as a deep cut-off low and associated 50 knot, 700 mb jet begins to push into the region. Widespread 40+ mph southerly-to- southwesterly wind gusts are expected across our forecast area on Tuesday with the potential for 50 to 60 mph wind gusts in Esmeralda and Central Nye Counties. Increased precipitation chances will also accompany this system with light rain showers expected across the southern Great Basin Tuesday into Wednesday.
Light snow accumulations are expected above 8,000 feet in the Eastern Sierra Slopes, with 2 to 4 inches possible at Aspendell (elevation 8,400 feet). Breezes will linger across the Mojave Desert into northwestern Arizona on Wednesday, with showers exiting the region Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will bottom out in the wake of this system on Wednesday with afternoon high temperatures topping out 3 to 7 degrees below normal. Beyond Wednesday, temperatures will gradually climb back up to near normal as troughiness lingers across the Southwest. Beyond Friday, guidance begins to diverge as a weak trough off the coast of southern california may begin to influence the region, with some modest cooling possible.
