ABC-7 StormTrack Weather: Memorial Day storms possible as Borderland warms into the 90s

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) – Warm and mostly dry weather will continue across the Borderland through the holiday weekend, but scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to return on Memorial Day.

A few lingering storm chances may continue Tuesday over eastern areas before drier weather returns later in the week.

By Wednesday through Saturday, dry southwest flow is expected to keep skies mostly clear with seasonable temperatures across the Borderland.
