El Paso residents will face another stretch of triple-digit heat this week, with highs near 95°F expected through midweek. Drivers along I-10 should prepare for glare, hot pavement, and longer vehicle cooling times, especially during afternoon commutes. Outdoor workers are urged to limit exposure and stay hydrated as conditions remain hotter than normal for early September.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, Tuesday will reach 94°F with light winds shifting southwest. Nights offer only slight relief, with lows in the lower 70s. Wednesday pushes even hotter, topping 95°F under mostly sunny skies. South and southeast breezes around 7 mph will provide little relief from the heat.
Local impacts stretch beyond discomfort. High pavement temperatures can raise tire blowout risks, especially for travelers along I-10 and U.S. 54. Residents are encouraged to check vehicles, carry extra water, and avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours. Pets and children should never be left in cars, even briefly.
Relief may come late in the week. A 20% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms enters the forecast Friday afternoon into Saturday, bringing brief cooling but possible lightning and gusty winds. Until then, El Paso stays locked in a hot, dry pattern.
Warnings remain in effect as the heat continues through Thursday. More advisories could follow if temperatures push higher than expected.
