About the time in Thornton
Sunrise today lands at 06:37 and sunset at 07:47 local time, giving 13h 10m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (33.78, -92.49) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Thornton.
Around 407 people live in Thornton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Thornton day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
