ABC-7 StormTrack: Above normal temperatures continue in the Borderland, rain chance remains slim

Happy Saturday to the Borderland! I am forecasting mostly dry and above-normal temperatures for the Borderland this weekend. Chances for showers and thunderstorms are low, but I cannot rule out a stray shower or two this weekend. Daily highs will be approximately in the mid to upper 90s some areas may see triple-digits.

Today, El Paso rose to 99. Meanwhile, in Las Cruces the high was 95.

Currently, we have a high-pressure system that is sitting over West/Central Texas. Because of this, most of the shower and thunderstorm activity will remain in western New Mexico.

Looking into the work week, our opportunities for rain will increase once that high-pressure system moves slightly east. Temperatures will remain above-normal with highs near 100 degrees.
