El Paso is headed for another warm October Sunday, with a high near 86 degrees and a chance of showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Any storm that develops could bring a brief heavy downpour and gusty winds, while Sunday's overnight low settles near 65 degrees.
Sunday Stays Hot Before The Sky Gets Interesting
The National Weather Service forecast called for breezy southwest winds Sunday afternoon, including 15 to 25 knots in its aviation forecast. Rain chances are 30% Sunday, with afternoon and evening storm potential, making this more of a keep-an-eye-on-the-sky setup than a washout. The latest outlook is a substantive update from Saturday's Hoodline forecast, with the week-ahead cooldown now coming into sharper focus.
The National Weather Service in El Paso/Santa Teresa expects Monday to be sunny and near 84, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 84 and Wednesday near 82. Thursday is expected to stay dry, while overnight lows gradually slip from the upper 60s into the low 60s. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the El Paso forecast area.
Friday Brings The Big Temperature Drop
The bigger shift arrives late Thursday night into Friday, when a front pushes through and brings a gusty shift to the east. Friday's high is forecast near 70, with low to moderate precipitation probabilities. Saturday is also expected to be cooler.
For Sunday plans, the practical move is simple: enjoy the warm afternoon, keep water handy and give outdoor setups a quick look before the wind picks up. With afternoon and evening storm potential, a flexible schedule will be useful.
