Key takeaway The post ABC-7 StormTrack Weather: Tracking daily afternoon and evening storm chances this week appeared first on KVIA.
Why this matters in The El Paso
With storm chances increasing throughout the week, El Paso residents can expect a welcome break from the typical summer heat, as highs are forecasted to dip into the 80s and low 90s. This cooler weather, combined with the possibility of gusty winds and blowing dust, may bring some relief to those who have been dealing with the hot and dry conditions. However, the increased storm activity also poses a risk for flash flooding in low-lying areas, which could impact daily commutes and outdoor activities. As the city's storm drainage system is put to the test, residents should be prepared for potential road closures and power outages. The upcoming storm system this weekend will be worth keeping an eye on, as it could bring another round of severe weather to the Borderland, affecting community events and outdoor plans.
