El Paso, TX – As El Paso heads into the weekend, the weather is shaping up to be a challenging mix of high temperatures and potential storms. The National Weather Service in El Paso has forecasted a scorching weekend with temperatures expected to soar above 100°F, particularly on Saturday and Sunday.
According to the latest updates, Saturday will see highs near 97°F, with only a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. These storms may bring localized rainfall but are unlikely to provide widespread relief from the heat. Sunday’s forecast is slightly cooler, with a high of 95°F, though the possibility of storms persists, particularly in the late afternoon.
Looking beyond the weekend, temperatures will begin to gradually decrease. Monday’s high is forecasted at 92°F, with Tuesday and Wednesday cooling further to 91°F and 89°F, respectively. Despite this slight dip, residents should remain cautious as the air quality index currently stands at 118, which is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Blowing dust from outflows is also a concern, particularly in areas experiencing isolated thunderstorms. This may lead to reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat, and monitor local weather updates for any changes in the forecast.
