Key takeaway The post ABC-7 First Alert – Storm coverage expected to increase late Friday and weekend.
Why this matters in The El Paso
With storm coverage expected to increase late Friday and over the weekend, El Paso residents should prepare for potential disruptions to outdoor plans and daily commutes. The likelihood of gusty winds and good rains in some areas may lead to flash flooding, which can be a concern for low-lying neighborhoods and areas with poor drainage. As temperatures remain below triple digits, the storms may bring some relief from the heat, but residents should still be cautious when traveling and outdoors. The El Paso area's storm drains and infrastructure will be put to the test, and residents can expect city crews to be on standby to respond to any flooding or storm-related issues. Residents are advised to stay tuned to local weather forecasts and sign up for emergency alerts to stay informed about the storm's progression and any necessary precautions.
