Just when you got all comfy with your shorts and tank tops and air conditioning, Mother Nature decided to show us all who's boss with a late spring cold front!
Back in the 80's, the Eurythymics sang, "Here Comes The Rain Again"... Pfft, we should be so lucky here in the EP.
The weekend is here, and just in case you haven't gotten the chance to listen to our morning weather guy, Jorge Torres, here is the forecast for the weekend and into your coming work week.
A couple of years ago, we had a stretch of lows in the teens, and it caused a lot of havoc all over the city. Well, get ready, because tonight, we're going to drop into the teens!
The good news - the majority of El Paso area students are still on Christmas break. The bad news - you might still need to go to work! We'll keep you up-to-date on any closures and late starts to businesses this morning...
In what is sure to be a million posts about the impending winter storm that is supposed to hit El Paso later this morning, we bring you the first closure because of the weather....
We've been enjoying really unseasonably warm weather for most of the early part of this winter, with highs in the 60's much of the time, but that's all about to change!
Before you head out for the day, don't forget, there is going to be some nasty weather your're going to have to deal with.
Tomorrow's winds are supposed to reach 60mph, and that means a lot of stuff blowing in the wind, but the City of El Paso wants to make sure it's not YOUR stuff!
This time of year, as the afternoon heats up, we tend to get some really spectacular cloud formations. They don't always carry rain with them, but for a while, they sure put on a show. Usually they look pretty everyday and unimpressive, like the first pic, but every once in a while, God really outdoes Himself.....
It's been about eight months since we've seen any significant amount of rain in El Paso, and with the weather guys predicting periods of heavy rain through Wednesday, now is a good time to review some safety tips for your home and car. Hey, we desert rats don't see this stuff often, so don't laugh!
During February when El Pasoans were struggling with rolling blackouts, El Paso Electric officials said their equipment was struggling with the below freezing temperatures because it was designed for hot, not cold weather operations. But with several weeks of random and in many cases, unexplained, power outages, it's beginning to look like EPE's equipment can't take the heat, either.
