El Paso, Texas – A stretch of dry, sunny, and unusually warm fall weather will continue across far West Texas into early next week, with daytime highs climbing near 90 degrees by Monday. The heat, combined with breezy afternoons, could pose challenges for outdoor workers, athletes, and anyone without reliable cooling.
According to the National Weather Service El Paso office, skies will remain mostly clear through Tuesday with no significant rainfall expected. Highs Friday through Sunday will hover between 87 and 89 degrees, with overnight lows only dipping into the mid to upper 60s. By Monday, temperatures may peak near 90, several degrees above normal for early October.
Winds will shift slightly over the weekend, beginning from the east Friday, then turning southwest Saturday afternoon with occasional gusts up to 20 mph. While conditions remain far from extreme, drivers on I-10 and U.S. 54 could experience brief crosswind issues, particularly during the afternoon hours.
Officials urge residents to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon heating. Although no widespread hazards are expected, the prolonged warmth could stress sensitive plants and outdoor pets if left without shade or water.
A weak disturbance could bring a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night, but forecasters emphasize that confidence in rainfall remains low. Until then, the El Paso metro and surrounding desert communities should expect more bright skies and above-average warmth as fall begins with a summer-like stretch.
