The weather pattern seems consistent heading into early next week, providing stable conditions well-suited for outdoor activities, according to the National Weather Service.
While warm and stable conditions are to prevail for the next few days, the NWS report does indicate a shift in weather patterns by the middle of the week, with Wednesday carrying a 40 percent chance of showers after noon. The mostly cloudy skies could bring showers, with the chances of rain gradually increasing to 50 percent by Wednesday night. This mid-week change could gradually usher in some needed moisture to El Paso's typically arid spring climate.
