El Paso, Texas – Blazing sunshine will push El Paso to 100 degrees today before thunderstorms enter the picture Monday. That shift matters across the Texas-New Mexico border, where broader monsoonal moisture could produce heavier storms elsewhere in the Southwest.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, today will be sunny with a high near 100. South winds remain around 8 mph.
El Paso International Airport reported 76 degrees shortly before 9 a.m. Humidity stood at 42%, with calm winds and 10-mile visibility.
Sunday repeats the triple-digit heat. Temperatures again reach 100 degrees, with light winds turning southeast near 5 mph.
Limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heating. Drivers on I-10 and U.S. 54 should carry water, especially on longer desert trips.
A subtle change arrives Monday. The high slips to 98 degrees before a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops before midnight. West winds run 5 to 8 mph.
The Weather Prediction Center has a broader Slight Risk, level 2 of 4, for excessive rainfall across parts of the Southwest through Monday. Heavy monsoonal storms can produce localized flash flooding in vulnerable locations.
That broader risk does not mean El Paso itself has a 2-of-4 flood risk in the supplied local data. The city-specific outlook only shows Monday’s 20% thunderstorm chance.
No specific tornado or hail threat appears for El Paso in the provided information. Still, thunderstorms can change road conditions quickly where heavy rain develops.
Tuesday turns sunny again at 98. Wednesday reaches 99, keeping late-summer heat firmly established.
Thursday and Friday remain near 99, so the supplied outlook shows no major cooldown. Monday’s storm opportunity remains the main interruption to persistent sunshine and upper-90s heat.
