Weather service cuts could hamper ´óÏóAPPmonsoon storm predictionsFor Star subscribers: Staffing issues at the National Weather Service in ´óÏóAPPcould be impacting the accuracy of monsoon storm predictions, according to a former University of Arizona atmospheric science researcher.
The best chance for rain in ´óÏóAPPthis week is Tuesday, the forecast says.
There’s a chance for strong winds and isolated showers in southeastern Arizona today, the National Weather Service in ´óÏóAPPsays.
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — A team of scientists from the University of Miami, the Florida Aquarium and Tela Marine in Honduras is working together to transplant crossbred coral fragments onto a reef off Miami's coastline that was devastated by coral bleaching two years ago.
Crews picked through mountains of debris and waded into swollen rivers Monday in the search for victims of catastrophic flooding that killed almost 90 people over the weekend in Texas.Â
While the heat cranks up in ´óÏóAPPthis week, there's still a 30% chance of rain both Monday and Tuesday, forecasters say.
The death toll from flash floods that raged through central Texas rose to 70 after searchers found more bodies.
Scores of rescuers searched Saturday for children from a girls' camp and many others who were still missing after a powerful storm that killed at least 27 people, officials said.
Monsoon season is ramping up across the southwestern United States and forecasters say the outlook favors above-normal precipitation in July. It could provide short-term relief for areas that have been struggling with persistent drought.
The high temperature in ´óÏóAPPfor the Fourth of July is expected to stay just under 100 degrees, forecaster say.
A story Wednesday is a good time to remember that both the city and the county offer a free sandbag program.
A flash flood watch is in effect from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday for portions of Southeast Arizona, including Tucson, the weather service says.
