El Paso braces for storms tonight, then rain returns Thursday

Storm chances will persist across El Paso's far eastern counties through Monday evening, with some storms potentially producing hail, according to KVIA.

Drier weather will move into the region Tuesday and Wednesday, providing a brief reprieve from rain and thunderstorms. Temperatures during this window are expected to remain slightly above seasonal averages, offering relatively warm conditions across El Paso and surrounding communities.

The reprieve will be short-lived. Rain chances are forecast to return Thursday as weather disturbances move from the eastern Pacific toward northern Mexico and the Borderland. These systems will shift winds to southwesterly aloft and reintroduce subtropical moisture to the area, increasing the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms.

According to KVIA's forecast, Thursday afternoon and evening will see rain and storm chances as a disturbance arrives. Friday will bring another opportunity for showers and thunderstorms, particularly later in the day as a second disturbance moves through. Saturday could offer a potential break between weather systems, with mostly dry conditions possible before the pattern becomes active again.

Rain chances are expected to continue periodically into early next week as the more active weather pattern persists.
