THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR YPG
A low-pressure system moving through central Arizona is bringing
favorable conditions for thunderstorm development across YPG today.
Any storms that develop will be slow-moving, generally towards the
east/northeast. Strong winds, heavy downpours, and flash-flooding will
be the primary threats. Gusty outflows may also cause blowing dust and
reduced visibilities near storms that pop up. Exercise caution operating

While there is currently no immediate public health threat in Yuma Proving Ground and Yuma County, we want you to know that all levels of the DOD are working together proactively and taking every possible precaution to respond to threats of public health.

The fact that COVID-19 has caused illness and is known to be transmitted person to person is concerning and for that reason we are assessing the situation constantly and will update you if further precautions are necessary. We are using a risk-based framework to make necessary decisions about our response posture to ensure health and safety of our forces, employees and families. We will quickly communicate current conditions if they change.

Actions at this time are routine, normal operations and we ask that you support ordinary, good, proactive health practices every day.
