We wake up today to a hot, muggy start, with temperatures climbing into the 90s. The humidity is thick, so if you plan on any outdoor activities, stay hydrated, take plenty of breaks, and keep an eye on those heat advisories. This afternoon, keep an umbrella handy for possible pop-up storms, which, as we saw earlier this week, have been causing occasional street flooding, especially in low-lying areas like Dyer and Alameda. El Paso Water has been working overtime to manage the flash floods, but drivers should still avoid large puddles and obey those posted detours. The weekend forecast is similar, so plan any outdoor fun for the mornings before it gets too steamy.
A major headline this morning is the county’s growing budget deficit. El Paso officials reported a projected gap between fifty-five and sixty-two million dollars for 2025, a sharp rise from previous estimates. County Judge Ricardo Samaniego warns that, for now, no property tax hike is planned, but there could be fewer projects for new roads, parks, and government services if the budget doesn't improve. Departments have been ordered to cut spending by five percent, with more details coming after the July 25 property value report. The message from City Hall: we’ll need the whole community to pitch in as the county braces for some belt-tightening.
El Paso’s business landscape has a busy pulse this week. The Shoppes at Solana are hosting fresh summer markets, and there’s chatter that several local retailers on Mesa Street and Gateway West are rolling out discounts and pop-up events to keep shoppers coming out despite the summer heat. Meanwhile, the job market continues to show resilience. The El Paso Chamber says local businesses have posted roughly eight hundred new openings this month, mainly in logistics and healthcare, and there’s strong hiring at the new distribution center near the airport.
Moving to real estate, prices have leveled off this July. The average home in East El Paso is now selling just under three hundred fifty thousand dollars, giving first-time buyers a little breathing room after last year’s wild ride.
This weekend, we’ve got plenty to look forward to. The Neon Desert Music Series returns to San Jacinto Plaza Saturday night, featuring up-and-coming acts and local food trucks. The Downtown Art Walk is also happening, and it’s a great way to support local artists and catch some shade in the galleries. Kids can enjoy special programs at the El Paso Museum of History, with hands-on exhibits running through Sunday.
Turning to our school community, congratulations are in order at Franklin High, whose varsity baseball team clinched the district championship last night. Their victory parade is planned for Monday on Mesa Street.
On the public safety front, local law enforcement responded to several car break-ins overnight near Montana and Brown, and investigators are cautioning residents to lock vehicles and avoid leaving valuables inside. There were no major incidents of violent crime reported in the past 24 hours, bringing some relief after last week’s uptick.
Before we wrap, here’s a feel-good story. Volunteers from across El Paso spent yesterday morning repainting playgrounds in Memorial Park, making them safer and welcoming just in time for the new school year. It’s another sign of what we can accomplish when our community comes together.
