Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, October 26, 2025.
Let’s start our day together with a look at what’s happening around El Paso. This morning, skies are mostly clear and temperatures are handing us a crisp start near 52 degrees. We can look forward to plenty of sun today with highs climbing into the mid-70s. If you have plans for a hike on the Franklin Mountains or a stroll through Plaza Theatre’s downtown walk, weather won’t get in the way. Winds will stay calm and dry through tonight. Heading into the workweek, we can expect more sunshine with just a light breeze and no major weather concerns.
In breaking news from the weekend, El Paso was on the soccer map Saturday evening as our own Locomotive FC faced San Antonio FC in a match that saw a flurry of goals. The Locomotive took the early lead with a strike from Amando Moreno but ultimately fell to San Antonio 5 to 2. Despite goals from Moreno and Christian Sorto, San Antonio clinched a playoff spot and took home the Copa Tejas trophy this season. Locomotive’s season may be over but the team and fans are already looking ahead with hope for next year.
In local college sports, the UTEP women’s soccer team wrapped up a hard-fought season yesterday with an intense 0-0 draw against New Mexico State. Goalkeeper Alaina Gilbert delivered her best performance yet, collecting four big saves to secure the team’s fifth shutout this year. UTEP is now preparing for its move to the Mountain West Conference next season, where competition is expected to step up another notch.
Over in the community, there were celebrations with a message of hope on Montana Avenue this weekend. Residents gathered for a liberation parade honoring Catalina Xochitl Santiago, recently released from ICE custody after a federal judge ruled her detention violated her rights. The parade included community theater and calls for the freedom of other detainees still being held nationwide, reminding us how national policies can echo right here at home. According to KFOX, the event drew dozens in support.
Checking in with city hall, discussions continue about new infrastructure investments and possible updates to local parks after feedback from residents last week. The city council is expected to make decisions soon about funding for street repairs near Mesa Street and extending resources to schools in the northeast.
On the public safety front, local police report a relatively calm 24 hours across major neighborhoods. There were a few minor traffic accidents along I-10 and a domestic disturbance call in Central El Paso, but no major public safety threats overnight. Officers remind us to lock our vehicles, especially as shopping season approaches.
In the job market, several distribution centers near Zaragoza Road have posted hiring notices. Around 120 new warehouse and logistics jobs are open for applications, signaling growth ahead of the holiday rush.
On the real estate side, the El Paso Association of Realtors notes housing inventory remains steady, with about 1,150 homes currently on the market. The median price for a three-bedroom home is hovering just above 240 thousand dollars. Agents say demand is holding strong, especially in the east and westside suburbs.
Looking ahead to local events, tonight the Sun City Music Festival returns to Ascarate Park for some outdoor music and food trucks. Tomorrow, El Paso Museum of Art hosts free family art workshops. High school playoffs are also underway this week—best of luck to our football teams still in the hunt.
Before we go, a quick feel-good story from the Lower Valley. Students at Hueco Elementary raised over 15 thousand dollars for food banks, running a week-long walkathon. Their energy and heart are a reminder of what makes this community strong.
