Key takeaway Sunday brings a 30 to 60 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms, with the greatest potential developing over the Sacramento Mountains before moving into El Paso , Doña Ana, and Hudspeth Counties during the afternoon and evening.
Why this matters in The El Paso
The potential for isolated showers and thunderstorms in the evening will likely impact outdoor events and activities in the El Paso area, particularly in the Sacramento Mountains and eastern lowlands. With strong outflow winds expected to accompany storms, residents and visitors should be prepared for gusty conditions. The increased chance of rain through the first half of the week may also affect local businesses that rely on outdoor activities, such as hiking and tourism. As the city's transportation infrastructure is already prone to flooding, the expected rainfall may lead to road closures and traffic disruptions, especially in low-lying areas. Residents should stay informed about the weather forecast and plan accordingly to minimize disruptions to their daily commutes and activities. The El Paso area's economy, which is heavily reliant on tourism and outdoor recreation, will be closely watching the weather developments in the coming days.
