ABC-7 Storm Track Weather – Quiet Weather Continues Across El Paso, With Slight Rain Chances Returning This Weekend

The Borderland will see a gradual decrease in cloud cover as drier air moves in, bringing mostly clear skies and light winds through the middle of the week. Temperatures will remain near seasonal averages, with a slight cooldown expected heading into the weekend.

By Tuesday, the low-pressure system will move east, taking most of the available moisture with it. Some areas could see low clouds or patchy fog redevelop early Tuesday morning as skies begin to clear and winds remain calm. Otherwise, expect mostly clear skies and light winds throughout the day as high pressure builds in from the west.

High pressure will strengthen Wednesday and Thursday, keeping conditions mostly sunny and dry across the Borderland. A weak backdoor cold front will move through Wednesday, bringing modestly breezy northerly to northeasterly winds. Winds should remain relatively light outside of this brief increase.

Looking ahead to the weekend, a disturbance moving in from the Pacific is expected to bring increasing clouds Friday, followed by a slight chance of rain Friday night into Saturday. Forecast models have shifted the system's timing faster, making Sunday look predominantly dry as the disturbance moves east.

Rain chances will remain relatively low, with mostly light showers expected and the best opportunity for precipitation across southern portions of the region. Most locations are forecast to receive less than a tenth of an inch of rain. A few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out Friday evening, but the overall threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding remains minimal.

Snow levels are expected to remain high, around 9,000 to 10,000 feet, meaning significant snowfall accumulations are not anticipated. However, the highest elevations could briefly see a rain-and-snow mix through Saturday.
