More heat and sunshine expected, rain chances tonight

After record breaking heat on Sunday, things will be slightly cooler this afternoon. I expect to see mostly sunny skies for the first half of the day with temperatures topping off right around 103 degrees. Winds will be gusty as well around 15 to 20 miles per hour.

Clouds will be on the increase this afternoon with rain chances moving into the Borderland around 5 this evening. Right now the models are holding some cells together which could produce some brief but heavy showers. Looks like the best chance for showers in El Paso would be between 8 and 10 pm.

The rest of this week things will stay steady. We get 1 day off from the triple-digit heat on Tuesday with the hottest day on the 7-day coming in on Thursday at 105. Next weekend looks like we could see temperatures drop back into the low 90s with some more rain chances.
