Heat Safety

Wednesday

Temperatures will soar well into the 90s this week across the lowland deserts. Daily records are likely to be broken, and records for the hottest temperatures recorded in March are at risk of falling as well. For El Paso, that record is 93 degrees.

A summer-like weather pattern develops this week across the Desert Southwest.

Stay cool and hydrated during this early-season heat wave.

Upper level high pressure will continue to take control of our weather for the rest of this week. The ridge aloft will keep our skies clear and our surface winds light. High temperatures will run 13 to 17 degrees above average. Daily and monthly all time record high temperatures will be possible this weekend.
