High pressure building over the western plains sent the remnant moisture of Hurricane Odile, which had passed over the region a few days earlier, back into far west Texas. A weak upper trough was moving into the southwestern U.S. and easterly upslope flow aided in providing lift to El Paso County. A maximum of 6.50 inches of rain fell in the northeast side of El Paso. One death was attributed to the flash flooding in northeast El Paso.
