EL PASO, Texas – The sun climbs slowly over the Franklin Mountains this Sunday morning, casting a golden edge across the desert. The air feels crisp now, but warmth will return fast — the start of another tranquil, sun-filled stretch for the Borderland before cooler winds drift in later this week.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, high pressure remains firmly in control, locking in a dry and stable pattern through Tuesday. Sunday will bring highs near 79°F under bright blue skies. By Monday and Tuesday, temperatures rise into the low 80s — several degrees above late-October normals. Winds stay light, though some late-afternoon southwest gusts could reach 10 mph in the Rio Grande Valley.
The region’s next weather shift comes midweek as a weak front slides south from New Mexico. It won’t bring rain, but it will cool daytime highs into the low 70s and drop nighttime lows into the upper 40s — perfect for early Halloween decorating or evening walks along Scenic Drive. The air will stay dry, keeping skies crystal-clear through the weekend.
Drivers can expect excellent travel conditions on I-10 and U.S. 54, with no weather-related delays. Residents should plan for large day-to-night temperature swings, keeping jackets handy for early mornings and late evenings.
After this week’s warm finish to October, models hint at a chillier November, with the season’s first near-freezing mornings possible north of Las Cruces by the second weekend.
