[NWS El Paso @NWSElPaso]

For the record, El Paso just officially reached 100 degrees at this very moment. So the streak has officially extended to 44 days. So what about tomorrow? Could be close...

[NWS El Paso @NWSElPaso]

We've officially hit over 100°F today in El Paso, extending the streak to 36 days.

We will have to see if the streak will be broken or not tomorrow with the added cloud coverage and slightly cooler air pushing into the area.

[NWS El Paso @NWSElPaso]

Heat Advisories remain in effect through midnight tonight for the lowlands of southwestern NM and the lower Rio Grande Valley, including El Paso. Afternoon highs around 105 degrees are forecast in these areas. Stay cool! #nmwx #txwx

[NWS El Paso @NWSElPaso]

As a reward for getting through 31 straight days of 100 degrees in El Paso, Mother Nature has given our office a wonderful sunset this evening. #nmwx #txwx
