El Paso gets a warm, mostly sunny Wednesday before a wetter pattern moves back into the Borderland Thursday evening. The city should climb from a morning near 59 degrees to around 77, but the easygoing forecast has a less friendly sequel: thunderstorms and heavy downpours could return before the weekend is over.
Sunny Wednesday Is The Calm Before The Clouds
The National Weather Service forecast calls for sunny skies Wednesday, October 28, with a high near 77. Winds will be light and variable in the morning, becoming south-southwest at 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Wednesday night, clouds increase during the evening, with a low around 58.
Rain Chances Rise Thursday
Rain chances rise Thursday, October 29, with showers possible after noon and thunderstorms becoming more likely from midafternoon into the night. El Paso has a 50% daytime precipitation chance and a 10% chance Thursday night, while a few storms could bring heavy rain, gusty winds and localized flooding. The heaviest totals are favored east of the U.S. 54 corridor, where isolated amounts of 1 to 2 inches could fall through Thursday night.
Friday Stays Unsettled, Halloween Looks Mostly Dry
Friday, October 30, should be partly sunny with a high near 74, but showers and thunderstorms are likely again Friday night, with a 70% chance of precipitation. Saturday, October 31, looks mostly cloudy and seasonable, near 74, offering a relatively dry window for Halloween plans. Saturday night will be mostly cloudy, and Sunday brings a chance of showers.
Showers Linger Into Sunday Before A Cooler Turn
Sunday brings a chance of showers and a high near 74, with breezy west winds Sunday and Monday. Tuesday should be cooler, with a high near 66. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted, and fire danger is expected to remain low into early November.
