El Paso residents can look forward to a mostly quiet weekend as high pressure builds behind the departing storm system. Saturday and Sunday are expected to stay dry across the city, with only a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm over the nearby mountains.
Weekend weather outlook
Temperatures will remain near normal for late September, and the high‑pressure ridge should bring plenty of sunshine and fewer clouds. This short‑term stability offers a welcome break after recent rain activity.
Monday‑Tuesday rain threat
Monday and Tuesday bring a significant shift. Moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Polo is expected to move into the Borderland as another storm system tracks across Arizona. Forecasts show a much better chance of showers and thunderstorms, with potential rainfall totals of 1.5 to 1.6 inches – well above the seasonal average.
Slow‑moving storms could produce heavy rain, raising the risk of flash flooding in low‑lying areas. Gusty winds are also possible on Tuesday as the system moves eastward.
Looking ahead
By Wednesday, the tropical moisture should move farther east, allowing sunshine to return and more pleasant, seasonable weather to dominate the second half of the week.
