EL PASO, Texas – After a stormy start to the week, clear skies and calm breezes are returning to West Texas, setting up several days of bright, mild fall weather across the Borderland. Scattered thunderstorms will taper off early Tuesday, giving way to sunshine and cooler, drier air by midweek — a welcome shift after brief lightning and heavy downpours Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, lingering clouds will break by Tuesday afternoon as high pressure builds from the west. Highs will reach the low 80s with light southeast winds, followed by crisp nights in the mid-60s. By Wednesday, the region settles into a classic October stretch: sunny skies, light winds, and dry desert air with highs near 84°F.
Forecasters expect no further storm activity through the end of the week. The dry pattern will hold across El Paso County and along I-10, keeping roads clear for commuters and regional travelers. Those heading toward Fort Bliss or Las Cruces can expect smooth travel conditions and near-perfect visibility through Saturday.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy outdoor events, farmers’ markets, and early fall festivals while the pleasant weather lasts. The weekend will feature highs in the upper 70s and cool desert mornings — ideal for hiking Franklin Mountains trails or visiting local pumpkin patches.
