This past Thursday, Coconino County Supervisors Judy Begay and Jeronimo Vasquez attended a Reentry Summit on Justice Involved Tribal Members where Vice-Chair Vasquez gave the keynote speech, providing an overview of the Coconino County Pathways to Community program that works with individuals in the County Detention Facility and provides warm hand offs to social service, health care, employment, recovery, and housing upon release. He also encouraged tribal leaders to find opportunities to reconnect returning citizens to their culture, their ceremonies, and their community.

The Summit was sponsored by Working Alternatives, a residential re-entry (RRC) facility that contracts directly with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Northern Arizona University's Criminology and Criminal Justice Department, and the US Probation Office.

Here's the latest on Hurricane Hilary and the potential impacts for N. Arizona. Our greatest threat for heavy rain and flooding will be today and tonight with the moisture surging ahead of Hilary enhancing our already active monsoon pattern. Greatest flood threat will be west of a line from roughly Payson, to Flagstaff, to Page today and tonight. On Saturday and Sunday, the greatest rainfall and impacts will shift west and south of our area, but we will see scattered thunderstorms that may cause some flood threats in saturated areas. Hurricane Hilary is a powerful storm that will come with some surprises, so stay tuned as the weather situation continues to evolve.

08/17/2023

Tropical moisture will work with our traditional monsoon pattern to increase thunderstorm coverage for N. Arizona Friday. The area of greatest concern is the northwest potion of the state. Frequent lightning, small hail, and gusty, erratic winds will also be of concern.

Coconino County communities might see more precipitation over the weekend and into next week as the result of Tropical Storm Hilary.

The Flood Control District, Public Works, and Coconino County Emergency Management are working closely with NWS Flagstaff to monitor potential rainfall and post-wildfire flooding in our towns and neighborhoods.

Be aware and stay safe, sign up emergency alerts from Coconino County at www.coconino.az.gov/ready

Let's chat about Tropical Storm Hilary. We will see an increase in thunderstorm coverage and flood threats as moisture surges ahead of Hilary later this week through the weekend. While the main circulation (and likely the remnants of Hilary as well) will stay well west of our area, moisture surging ahead of Hilary may have a big impact on our weather. There's a great amount of uncertainty at this time on the final track and impacts of the storm, but stay tuned as the forecasts (and threats) become clearer with time. Any questions? Don't hesitate to put them in the comments!

Mosquito bites are more than an irritation—they can cause serious illnesses that sometimes turn fatal. Remember the four Rs to fight the bite:

- REPEL mosquitos using EPA-registered insect repellent and wear long sleeve shirts and pants.
- REMOVE standing water from your home and yard.
- REPAIR or replace damaged window and door screens.
- REMIND your family, friends and neighbors about mosquito safety.

OK friends, here's the weather outlook for the next couple days. After another round of storms tomorrow, our weather will dry out significantly later in the week with generally dry conditions expected through the weekend (and beyond). Yes, the staff here is sad that the latest round of the monsoon moisture is wrapping up, with several days (or more) of dry and very warm (hot!) weather on the way. We'll do our best to bring some soaking rains toward the middle of August, but you know what they say, we're in prediction, not production :)

I have not yet heard that Coconino County or the City of Flagstaff are recommending the Covid Watch Arizona app, and activating it on phones. This app, developed by NAU and U of A, for the AZ region, works in tandem with the Covid app placed through updates on all phones (when enabled by the user and bluetooth is turned on) to anonymously notify citizens of contacts with those who have reported their own positive Covid tests.

It's only useful if a critical mass of citizens download the app and enable it. And it's critical that those who test positive provide that information to the website. You can download the app (Covid Watch Arizona) from your app store, and if you can't find the capability on your phone to enable it, Google can help you.
Please take 20 minutes and watch this video about the Baltimore inner-city 35 years ago. It will get you thinking.
