El Paso residents can expect a turn in the weather as the National Weather Service announces a series of scattered showers and thunderstorms heading into the week. Temperatures will remain high despite the increased chance of precipitation, with today's forecast promising mostly sunny skies and a high near 96 degrees, as a gentle east southeast wind blows at 8 to 10 mph.
The calm of the heat, however, may be briefly disrupted. As the evening draws in, there's a 30 percent chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms before midnight, after which the skies will clear to a partly cloudy night with lows settling around 76 degrees. The pattern of isolated showers and potential thunderstorms will continue sporadically throughout the forthcoming days, according to the National Weather Service.
Heading into Tuesday, the likelihood of rain hovers at 20 percent with similar conditions anticipated for Wednesday, each day featuring mostly sunny skies in the forecast. East-southeast winds are expected to remain light, not exceeding 9 mph. The balance of sun and a slim chance of rain seems to characterize the city's weather narrative for the bulk of the week.
As the weekend approaches, the probability of showers and thunderstorms becomes more pronounced. Friday night, in particular, shows a jump to a 60 percent chance of precipitation, mainly before midnight. Those planning outdoor activities should take heed of the evolving conditions and prepare for intermittent spells of rain, as detailed in NWS El Paso's forecast. The weekend maintains this trend with daytime highs slightly cooling to near 92 on Saturday and dipping further to 88 by Sunday.
