El Paso wakes up mostly clear and mild this morning, with temperatures hovering near 640F at El Paso International Airport. A steady southerly flow is pulling moisture into the Borderland, setting the stage for a warm and slightly unsettled afternoon with a high near 870F. If you have outdoor plans later today, keep one eye on the sky for those quickhitting, gusty downpours.
Afternoon Through Saturday
Isolated showers and thunderstorms are on the table for Friday, April 10, between about 3 and 6 p.m., with activity expected to ramp up to scattered storms through the evening and into Friday night. The best shot at measurable rain lines up east of the Rio Grande, where storms could deliver brief heavy rain, gusty outflow winds and pockets of blowing dust. Forecasters note that rain totals should stay on the lighter side, generally under a tenth of an inch, with Saturday still looking showery in the mountains and across eastern areas, according to NWS El Paso.
