Brief cool front interrupts record heat in El Paso

Few will forget the exceptional, record heat of March 2026. Sunday make our 5th record in a row with three more records coming this week. Today’s high was 96, which broke the record of 93 set in 2017. Here’s a summary of the records so far since Wednesday.

We FINALLY get a “cool” front, a brief interruption to our stretch of record days. Here’s your exclusive 9-Hour Forecast for Monday with your 9-Day Forecast below.

TONIGHT:    The skies will be partly cloudy, and the winds will shift overnight as a “cool” front comes in.  The winds will turn north and then NE at 10-35 mph.  This will cause much stronger gusts on the west slopes of the mountains.  The winds could also stir up a bit of a dusty haze in the night.  The low will be 58.

FORECAST:  Monday will start out with gusty morning winds with the “cool” front.  The skies will be mostly sunny with a few clouds and cooler winds.  With a high of 86, we will interrupt our stretch of record heat for March.  The NE winds will turn SE in the afternoon and will range from 10-20 mph.  Another big zone of high pressure builds up right over the Borderland.  Tuesday will be sunny and 94. The SW winds will range from 10-20 mph.  (Tuesday’s Record: 87 in 1988)  Wednesday will become very, very hot with a high of 99 as high pressure reaches its maximum.  (Wednesday’s Record: 90 in 2012)  Thursday will be sunny and 98.  (Thursday’s Record: 87 from 2025)  On Friday, cooler gusts will usher in a cold front.  Look for partly to mostly cloudy skies with a high of 76.  The NE winds will range from 15-40 mph.  Saturday will be partly to mostly cloudy with a high of 75…
