We wanted our t-showers to come back, and they did with a vengeance on the east side of El Paso County today. Flood advisories were posted until 4:45 PM. If you did not receive any rainfall today, don’t worry. We’ll have a chance of t-showers each day through Monday.
The official high today is 92; the record, 109 set in 2023. As for rain, we only recorded a trace at the airport. Some parts of Horizon City and surrounding areas received over a half an inch. Weather Watcher Robert Mendez sent in this pic of the t-storms today.

Expect widely scattered t-showers. Some storms may drop heavy rainfall, so do not drive into flooded roadways. The SE winds will range from 10-20 mph with occasional gusts near area storms. The low will drop to 73. Storm chances will taper off through the evening.
