Very Strong Winds & Dust Again Today 💨

Prepare for another day of strong winds and dust today. The wind and dust have been very unusual, but it gets so bad it’s hard to leave the house for anything. The wind and dust will begin around noon today with gusts up to 60 mph, but luckily the temperature is nice with a high of 77. But on the bright side, after today, the winds are supposed to die down and the weather looks amazing. Hopefully this is the last dusty day because we’re tired of it.

Update On El Paso Electric Rate Hikes ⚡

The El Paso City Council is getting an update Monday morning about El Paso Electric's request to raise bills by around $23 per month.

Decisions won’t happen until late 2025, so stay tuned—your allowance might need an increase by early 2026!
