El Paso residents can expect a series of isolated showers and potential thunderstorms to grace the skies this week, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. The city will see a high near 90 degrees today, with light winds shifting from south southwest to southwest throughout the morning. By evening, a 20% chance of precipitation might just barely quench the day's building heat.
The city is set to cool slightly tonight, as clouds endure and temperatures dip to around 68 degrees, with a calm west wind. There's a 30% chance to not only hear, but also see the rumble and flash of thunderstorms after 9 pm. Looking ahead to Friday, El Pasoans should prepare for a 40% chance of continued showers and the possibility of thunderstorms post 3 pm, with a high near 77 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Indeed, the unsettled theme persists into the weekend. Saturday forecasts suggest a partly sunny sky, yet still, a noteworthy 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms looms, especially after noon. Those planning evening outings should take note of the stiff southwest winds and prepare for similar conditions with a low around 67 degrees.
By Sunday, El Paso will experience a slight reprieve with a 20% chance of morning showers giving way to sunnier skies and a high nearing 87. The start of the new week proposes a rise in temperatures with sunny days and clear nights ahead. Monday's high near 90 and Tuesday's high creeping up to 93 degrees will court the edges of summer's sweltering embrace.
