El Paso woke up to mostly clear skies Sunday, with temperatures in the upper 70s before a sunny afternoon pushes the mercury near 97 degrees. The heat will ease only slightly overnight, with a low around 76 and another warm day ahead for Labor Day.
Hot, Mostly Sunny Sunday
Sunday’s forecast calls for bright skies and light east-southeast winds of 1 to 7 mph. The chance of rain in El Paso is just 13%, making it a scorcher for anyone planning outdoor errands, pool time, or a late-summer barbecue.
The broader region could still see isolated showers and thunderstorms, particularly near mountains and western New Mexico. The National Weather Service says storms may bring sudden gusty winds and localized flooding, although no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for El Paso.
Labor Day Brings More Heat
Labor Day Monday stays sunny with a high near 96 degrees and east-southeast winds around 7 mph. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Monday night before midnight, with a 20% chance of rain and a low around 77.
Tuesday should remain sunny and reach about 95 degrees, while Wednesday and Thursday climb back toward 96. Friday and Saturday are also expected to be sunny with highs near 97, though slight rain chances return late Saturday night.
Plan Around The Heat
For outdoor plans, the easiest window will be the morning before temperatures rise sharply through the afternoon. Drink water, take breaks from direct sun, and move indoors if thunder develops, especially if a storm produces heavy rain or sudden wind.
