The current humidity in El Paso stands at a noticeable 76%, with wind blowing from the north at a moderate 8 mph; these figures, combined with a dewpoint at a brisk 29°F (-2°C), produce a wind chill that lowers the felt air temperature to an even cooler 30°F (-1°C), as per the latest report from the NWS updated at 6:51 am MST. Conditions will remain calm into the evening, though there's a slight 20 percent chance of showers after 10 pm, while temperatures are expected to stay mild with lows around 50°F.
Welcoming 2026, New Year's Day might begin with a 20 percent chance of showers before 11 am but transitions into a clearer day with the clouds gradually giving way to sunshine, rising temperatures to an agreeable high near 70°F.
