The calm, sunny days of winter seem to continue in El Paso, with the National Weather Service reporting a trend of clear skies and moderate temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, El Paso residents can expect a high of 67 degrees today with a west wind cruising at 13 to 18 mph. Gusts could ramp up to 25 mph, though, making for a brisk day out if you're not shielded from the wind.
Tonight's forecast anticipates mostly clear skies with a comfortable low around 42 degrees. The west wind, persistent through the day, is expected to settle down to a lighter pace post-midnight at 10 to 15 mph and could gust as high as 21 mph. This weekend, the city will continue bask under the sun with Saturday's high hovering near a similar 66 degrees and calm conditions. The NWS indicates an upward incline in the meteorological mood rolling into Sunday, with temperatures expected to peak near 69 degrees.
Those planning for the week ahead should note the forecast calls for partly sunny to mostly cloudy conditions from Sunday night through Monday. However, don't let the potential cloud cover deceive you; highs will remain close to 69 degrees, with Monday night bringing in only a slight chill at a low of around 44 degrees.
Looking further ahead, the weather outlook maintains a consistent picture of partly to mostly sunny days with highs in the mid to high 60s. Nevertheless, as midweek approaches, El Paso should anticipate a 30 percent chance of showers, bringing a small degree of uncertainty to otherwise predictably pleasant weather patterns.
