El Paso, Texas – Storms could interrupt El Paso’s Tuesday afternoon routine, with a 40% chance of thunderstorms after 3 p.m. and gusts up to 21 mph posing travel risks on US-54 and I-10. The rain arrives just in time to complicate pre-holiday travel across far West Texas.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday, July 1, begins sunny with a high near 87°F. By late afternoon, isolated storms will begin developing, continuing into the early hours of Wednesday. Winds may gust to 18 mph overnight, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of blowing dust.
Wednesday’s forecast includes a 60% chance of rain, especially before midnight, as another round of storms may disrupt outdoor planning. Conditions will gradually dry out by Thursday, with highs rebounding into the 90s and humidity climbing ahead of Independence Day.
Friday, July 4, will be hot and mostly sunny, with a high near 98°F. The National Weather Service notes only a slight chance of morning storms, so most July 4 celebrations should stay dry — but the heat will be intense.
