El Paso is starting Friday in the mid-60s under mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 84 degrees ahead of a much quieter weekend. A few showers or thunderstorms could still pop up, but the bigger weather swing arrives Monday and Tuesday, when rain chances rise sharply.
The city could see a few morning showers and thunderstorms, followed by another isolated storm window in the mid-afternoon. The National Weather Service says storm coverage should be limited around El Paso, with more activity favored near and east of the Rio Grande; any storm that develops could bring a brief heavy downpour or gusty winds.
Weekend Offers A Weather Break
Saturday should be quiet and drier, with a high near 86 degrees, while Sunday is also expected to bring a quieter, drier pattern. That makes this the better window for outdoor plans.
There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the El Paso forecast area. The weekend setup is a notable change from the stormier outlook in Hoodline's earlier forecast, with temperatures now trending cooler and thunderstorms returning Monday, ahead of the Tuesday storm threat in the earlier forecast.
Storm Chances Surge Monday And Tuesday
Showers and thunderstorms are possible Monday, followed by a much wetter Monday night. The chance of precipitation rises to about 80% overnight, when showers and thunderstorms could bring periods of heavy rain.
Tuesday looks cooler, with a high near 81 and a 70% chance of rain showers and thunderstorms. More moisture will be in place across the region, so residents with plans in flood-prone areas should keep an eye on updated forecasts as the week begins.
