El Paso is waking to cloudy skies and temperatures near 54 degrees, but the bigger shift arrives after sunset: showers are likely Friday night and Saturday looks cooler, wetter and decidedly less patio-friendly. Friday still reaches 57 degrees before the weekend weather settles in.
Rain Chances Rise Friday Night
Friday is forecast to be mostly sunny, followed by increasing clouds, with a high near 57 degrees. Showers become more likely late in the day and into Friday night, when the chance of rain rises to about 70%.
The National Weather Service says rainfall could total between a quarter-inch and half-inch in the wetter spots through Saturday, especially east of the Rio Grande. The sharper rain timing and cooler weekend forecast are a notable update from Thursday's Hoodline outlook.
Saturday Brings The Wettest Stretch
Saturday is forecast to stay cloudy with rain showers and a high near 57 degrees, along with east winds around 13 mph and gusts up to 21 mph. The chance for rain east of El Paso into Saturday is 70–90%, so outdoor plans may need a backup option and drivers should be ready for wet roads.
Rain chances fade Saturday night, with a slight chance of showers. Sunday brings a partial rebound to around 63 degrees, with a 10% precipitation chance in El Paso; lingering showers are mainly a concern in Hudspeth County.
Sunny Skies Return Monday
The forecast turns noticeably calmer Monday, with dry conditions expected through midweek, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 69. Veterans Day and Thursday are expected to reach about 72 degrees under sunny skies, giving El Paso a warm, dry finish to the week.
Higher elevations in the Sacramento Mountains could see a wintry mix or some snow Saturday, though significant accumulation is unlikely. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the El Paso area.
