The National Weather Service in El Paso has issued a weather forecast for the coming week that indicates a pattern of high temperatures along with intermittent chances of showers and thunderstorms. Most days are expected to be partly to mostly sunny, with highs hovering near the 99-degree mark, offering little reprieve from the heat.
According to the National Weather Service, today's sunny skies are to give way to a 20 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms by evening, adding a bit of uncertainty to outdoor plans, this evening. There's a continuous trend of 20 percent chances of precipitation in the afternoons and evenings going into the next week, save for Monday and Friday when chances increase slightly. The evenings will see the temperatures drop to the mid-70s, providing some relief from the day's heat.
Nighttime conditions are not much cooler, with low temperatures expected to be in the high 70s. This means that those without sufficient air conditioning will likely continue to experience uncomfortable conditions even after the sun sets.
Looking towards the start of the new week, similar conditions are expected. Monday has a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon, and scattered showers are more likely before midnight. The high will remain steadfastly near 96 degrees, with humidity contributing to the stickiness felt by El Pasoans.
Residents and visitors should plan accordingly for the weather conditions, particularly those who are sensitive to high temperatures. The consistent chance of showers might warrant carrying an umbrella, despite the low probability of rain. Staying hydrated and informed on the latest weather updates from the NWS is strongly advised.
