El Paso, TX – Northwest Texas residents can expect a classic early October weather mix this week — warm afternoons, breezy winds, and a slight chance of thunderstorms before clear skies return by Thursday. Commuters and outdoor planners should stay alert to shifting afternoon conditions, especially during peak drive hours.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, Tuesday brings a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4 p.m., with highs near 88°F and light east-southeast winds gusting up to 26 mph. Wednesday remains partly sunny with similar highs around 83°F, while scattered showers may reappear in the evening.
By Thursday, October 9, skies clear to mostly sunny with a high near 84°F — a welcome break for fall activities, pumpkin patch visits, or evening events. Winds remain steady at 10–14 mph through Friday, when highs reach the upper 80s under bright, sunny skies.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday will feel seasonally warm, with highs in the mid-80s and continued chances for light afternoon showers — ideal for early Halloween decorating or outdoor sports before the region’s first real cold snap later this month.
