El Paso residents can expect mostly cloudy skies today with the possibility of showers increasing later tonight. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are set to peak at 62 degrees Fahrenheit, accompanied by an east wind blowing at 9 to 15 mph, including potential gusts up to 20 mph. As the city experiences a relative humidity standing at 55%, it’s advised to keep a light jacket at hand with wind chill bringing perceived temperatures down to the mid-40s.
Tonight's forecast includes a 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 11 pm. The cloud coverage is expected to thicken leading to a low near 48 degrees. The east wind may continue to persist, reaching speeds of 11 to 14 mph and gusts that can potentially rise to touch 18 mph. Residents should prepare to possibly bring outdoor activities scheduled for late evening indoors.
Going into Friday, the chance of showers remains at 30 percent but is forecasted to clear before 11 am. The day will maintain its mostly cloudy demeanor, with highs hovering near 55 degrees and east winds slightly decreasing to 9 to 11 mph. This relatively cool trend suggests the light layers might as well stay part of the El Paso ensemble for the latter part of the week.
Looking ahead at the weekend, there’s a continuance of the overcast theme with a 20 percent chance of rain expected Saturday before clearing up by the afternoon. The sun is slated to make a brief guest appearance on Sunday, promising clearer skies and a high of around 63 degrees. This sprinkling of sunlight might offer a brief reprieve before temperatures plunge back down into the 30s come Tuesday night.
