El Paso, Texas – Hot, dry air will dominate El Paso on Thursday, but by the weekend, thunderstorm chances rise — and so does the risk of localized flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in El Paso, Thursday’s high will reach 101°F, with light east winds shifting southwest in the afternoon. Heat will intensify Friday, peaking at 102°F before thunderstorm chances begin to build Friday night into Saturday. Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak sun and stay hydrated. Those driving along I-10 should watch for sudden wind shifts or rain bursts by Saturday night.
Friday and Saturday will remain mostly sunny through early afternoon, but isolated storms are possible after 5 p.m. both evenings. Saturday night brings a 60% chance of thunderstorms — the most significant rain risk in the five-day window. Gusty winds, lightning, and brief downpours could impact roads and evening plans.
While the heat eases slightly Sunday and Monday, both days come with a 20%–50% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Outdoor plans should include a shelter option. No widespread alerts are in place yet, but updates could follow if Saturday night’s system strengthens.
