El Paso starts Saturday mostly clear and around 75 degrees before the desert heat takes over, with afternoon temperatures climbing to about 95. The weekend will stay hot through Labor Day, but isolated storms could still bring sudden wind gusts and pockets of heavy rain.
Saturday will be mostly sunny, with west winds near 5 mph and only a 6% chance of rain during the day. After 8 p.m., the chance of showers and thunderstorms rises to 20% through about 2 a.m. Sunday, when temperatures will settle near 76, according to the National Weather Service.
Hot Sunday And Labor Day Ahead
Sunday looks sunnier and slightly hotter, with a high near 96 and a low around 76. Labor Day will bring another mostly sunny afternoon near 95, while a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Monday night.
Storms are expected to favor the mountains and western New Mexico, but any cells that develop can produce gusty outflow winds and localized flooding. That means a mostly dry forecast in the lowlands could still turn briefly messy near heavy rain, especially around low-lying roads and drainage areas.
Mostly Sunny Stretch Continues Next Week
El Paso should remain near 95 degrees Tuesday through Thursday, followed by another 96-degree day Friday. Rain chances stay low most afternoons, though a 30% chance of rain showers is possible Tuesday night after midnight, with modest storm chances continuing elsewhere across the region.
Water And Shade Still Matter
No watches, warnings, or advisories are posted for El Paso or nearby New Mexico counties in the current forecast. Residents planning outdoor activities should bring water, use shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, and avoid flooded roads if a storm suddenly moves through.
