Tucson Local Pulse: May 2nd Weather, Events, and Desert Fire Management

What this episode covers

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, May second. We're starting off this beautiful Saturday with mostly sunny skies and a high around eighty-eight degrees, so it's a great day to get outside and enjoy our desert. You'll want to bring some sunscreen though, and if you're planning anything outdoors this afternoon, grab some water because it's going to be a warm one. We're looking at partly cloudy conditions throughout the day with gentle winds around five kilometers per hour. Speaking of getting outside, there's quite a bit happening around town today. If you're interested in estate planning, Tohono Chul is hosting a free seminar called Why a Will is Not Enough this morning from nine to eleven at the Wilson Room near the Bistro entrance. It's open to the public and a great opportunity if you've been meaning to get your affairs in order. Later this afternoon at one thirty, the Leo Kent Hotel is hosting Jerry's Girls, a sparkling tribute to Jerry Herman showcasing the iconic roles he created for women on stage. And if you have kids who are musically inclined, the Tucson Symphony is holding the Young Composers Festival for small ensembles today at their center, where students will have their original pieces performed by professional Tucson Symphony musicians. For those looking for some evening entertainment, Jazz Under the Stars continues at Tohono Chul's Garden Bistro from five to eight o'clock tonight. It's the perfect blend of live music, great food, and that stunning garden atmosphere we're all lucky to have right here in our community. On the community science front, there's been some really interesting work happening with our local fire management. The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management has been working on a fifteen-year prescribed burn project on wild bison rangeland that's finally coming to fruition. According to officials, this carefully planned burn, called the Raymond Rx, is the first phase of a multi-year effort to improve the rangeland for our bison herds and minimize the risk of future wildfires. It's fascinating to learn how different fuels affect fire behavior, and district officials have noted that diesel actually calms fires down while gasoline gives them longevity. If you're thinking about exploring nature this weekend, the Sonoran Desert Conservation Program is also hosting various nature activities including phenology walks and birding opportunities around Pima County.
