EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — The Borderland is enjoying a mostly dry stretch of weather, but changes are on the way. While temperatures remain seasonable through Wednesday, rain and thunderstorm chances will increase Thursday and Friday, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and isolated flash flooding. Conditions should improve just in time for Halloween before another system brings widespread rain chances Sunday into Monday.
Quiet Weather Through Wednesday
A weak weather system is moving away from the region, leaving behind generally dry conditions. Despite some moisture near the surface, dry air higher in the atmosphere and limited storm support should keep most of El Paso and Southern New Mexico rain-free this afternoon.
The main exception will be near the Hudspeth and Culberson County line, where an isolated thunderstorm could develop. A few spotty storms may also develop across Hudspeth County on Wednesday, but most communities will remain dry.
Temperatures will stay near seasonal averages today, with a slight warm-up expected Wednesday.
Rain and Thunderstorms Return Thursday and Friday
Our next weather system begins moving into the Borderland Thursday, bringing increasing moisture and support for showers and thunderstorms…
