El Paso wakes up mostly cloudy and cool on Saturday, sitting near 43°F at El Paso International Airport with a light north breeze. By afternoon, temperatures should climb to around 68°F. There is a slight, scattered chance of brief rain showers late morning into early afternoon, roughly between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., that could pop up around the region. If you have outdoor plans, a light jacket and an umbrella would not be the worst idea.

Spotty Showers And Temperatures

A weak upper-level low off Baja is tapping a narrow plume of subtropical moisture and giving the Borderland about a 20% chance of light, spotty showers this afternoon. Any rainfall should be minimal. Sunday trends sunnier with highs near 71°F, and another low rain chance is possible Monday, mainly along the International Border, before drier and warmer conditions return by midweek with highs climbing into the low to mid 70s, a few degrees above normal. There are no watches or warnings in effect for the area, according to the National Weather Service.

What It Means For Your Plans

Impacts look limited. Any Saturday showers should be brief and hit-or-miss, and are unlikely to disrupt most commutes or weekend events. Winds are expected to stay light, so outdoor activities should be in good shape overall. Just keep an eye on the sky if you will be out around midday.

Quick Take

For the weekend and beyond, expect mild, mostly dry weather to return Sunday and continue warming through midweek, with only low rain chances into Monday near the border. Hoodline published an earlier forecast about a week ago. This update reflects the midday shower risk and the slightly warmer readings on the way, lining up with last week’s outlook.
