KTSM News – Parts of El Paso see flooding before heat returns — Your 9-Day Forecast

Posted on July 8, 2025

Many streets are still flooded, especially along the frontage roads of I-10 near Geronimo. Below is a snapshot of the radar at 4:50 PM, when a Severe T-Storm Warning was in effect. Some areas of central El Paso received close to 2 inches of rain in under an hour. Up in Ruidoso, the Ruidoso River went from 2 feet to 15 feet in just two hours. A flood and evacuation emergency has been activated in Ruidoso.

The worst of the rainfall has already fallen (for now), but we’ll keep watch for additional even t-showers. Mid-level moisture begins to thin out for Wednesday with only a slight chance of isolated late day storms. Here’s your 9-Hour Forecast for Wednesday:

TONIGHT:  The skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with widely scattered showers and t-showers.  Some individual storms may produce brief, locally heavy rain.  The SE winds will range from 5-15 mph with occasional gusts as area storms move through and break apart.  The low will drop to 75, and the skies will slowly clear overnight.

FORECAST:  High pressure builds up for Wednesday.  This will reduce the chance of storms and raise the high temperature significantly.  With a high of 103, Wednesday will be partly cloudy with hot afternoon breezes.  The SE winds will range from 5-20 mph.  We will face extreme heat on both Thursday and Friday as high pressure grows to its maximum.  Thursday will be partly cloudy with a high of 106.  Friday will also be partly cloudy with a high of 106.  We’ll have a very slight chance of late day storms on Friday.  Saturday will be partly cloudy with widely scattered showers and t-showers with a high of 98.  Sunday will be partly cloudy with widely scattered showers and t-showers and the threat of heavy rainfall.  Sunday’s high: 96.  Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy with widely scattered t-showers and the threat of heavy rainfall.  Monday’s high: 93.
