El Paso is getting a brief taste of easy desert weather this weekend: Saturday starts clear, with a low of 63°F, climbs to 86°F, and stays dry, with Sunday nearly identical. The quiet stretch may be the best outdoor window before moisture surges back into the Borderland early next week.
Sunny Weekend Before Rain Chances Return
Saturday will be sunny with light winds below 10 mph shifting west-southwest and no rain expected. Saturday night has a low near 65 as high clouds move in, while Sunday sees higher clouds move in and reaches 87; precipitation chances rise to 20% and 40% in the later forecast periods, with low rain chances returning overnight.
Storm Risk Builds Monday And Tuesday
Showers and thunderstorms become more likely after noon Monday, when the high should reach 87 and the rain chance rises to 40%. Monday night is the bigger concern, with an 80% chance of storms and a low near 66; Tuesday stays unsettled, with a high near 81, a high chance of precipitation and possible gusty northwest winds.
The National Weather Service office serving El Paso says deep tropical moisture will move into the region Monday and Tuesday, increasing the potential for heavy rain, flash flooding, frequent lightning, gusty outflow winds and small hail. No watches, warnings or advisories were posted for the forecast area Saturday morning, but plans in flood-prone locations should stay flexible.
Clearer, Cooler Pattern Arrives Midweek
The latest update brings a sharper storm signal than Friday’s outlook, particularly for Tuesday, after Hoodline previously reported a 70% rain chance, as Hoodline previously reported. After the unsettled stretch, Wednesday should bring only a slight chance of morning showers before skies turn mostly sunny and the high reaches 78; Thursday and Friday look sunny with highs of 81 and 83.
