As the people of El Paso peek through their windows this sunny May morning, the National Weather Service reports a few clouds in the sky with temperatures hovering around a comfortable 53°F. According to the National Weather Service, the relative humidity stands at 45 percent, and a light southern breeze whispers at just 5 mph, giving the early risers a wind chill that's barely a notch lower at 52°F.
The NWS promises a sun-drenched day with the mercury aiming to hit a high near 78 degrees, while calm winds are expected to pick up a modest momentum, shifting west southwest at 5 to 8 mph as the sun claims the sky, tonight, the city should remain partly enveloped in night clouds with lows stooping to around 60, the west southwest winds turning like a capricious dance partner to the northeast after the clock strikes midnight, betraying their earlier calm with an uptick to 6 to 10 mph.
Looking ahead, Thursday may usher in a modest chance of showers at 20 percent, yet the sun will continue to reign supreme, presenting a high near 79 degrees, the north wind transitioning to the east in the morning, running at 8 to 11 mph. As night takes over, you can expect the sky to clear mostly, with the thermometer dipping to 60 degrees, east winds continuing their gentle caress at 6 to 10 mph.
With the weekend on the horizon, El Pasoans can anticipate the embrace of sunny skies, a Friday high rounds the corner to 80°F with an easy east wind flowing between 6 and 11 mph, yet the night will see this breeze flexing up to 15 mph, ruffling the serenity with gusts that may reach 21 mph. Saturday doesn't plan to break the pattern, serving up sunshine and 81 degrees, with those easterly winds steadfast at 11 to 15 mph, again gusting up to 21 mph, and as Saturday night unfurls its dark blanket, a retire to a low around 59 is on the cards, the east wind calming to a gentle 8 to 13 mph.
The forecast for Sunday and into the next week remains undisturbed by disturbance, the NWS predicting continuous sunshine with a high nearing an even warmer 86 degrees, and as for the nights, they're partly cloudy with a low cozying up to 64, but come Monday, residents should be wary of patchy blowing dust, though it'll remain mostly sunny with a high shooting up to 93, and as this pattern holds firm into Tuesday, the city can expect another round of patchy blowing dust and unabated sun, keeping the high pinned at a toasty 93 degrees.
