Tonopah is situated in a high desert valley. The surrounding mountains create a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the west is blocked by the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This results in a dry climate with little precipitation.

The valley's elevation also affects the atmospheric pressure. Cold air from the north settles in the valley. This creates a high pressure system that dominates the region. The resulting clear skies and fair weather make Tonopah a popular spot for stargazing.
