Tucson Local Pulse

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.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, April fifth. We're starting this morning with some bittersweet news from the University of Arizona. Wildcat fans gathered at McKale Center yesterday to welcome the team home after their Elite Eight victory, but the celebration turned into heartbreak when Arizona fell to Michigan in the Final Four championship game. The loss has left our community disappointed, but the energy and turnout at McKale Center showed just how much this team means to Tucson. The Wildcats gave us something to be proud of this March, and that spirit isn't going anywhere. On a brighter note, a University of Arizona alum is bringing Tucson pride all the way to Barcelona. CocoVail Beer Hall has opened in Spain and is offering a slice of Wildcat fandom in the heart of Europe. It's a cool reminder of how our community reaches far beyond Arizona. Locally, we're seeing some interesting development on the southeast side of town. Land sales have been booming recently, with state auctions fueling rapid residential growth in that area. If you've been thinking about real estate or noticed new construction picking up around you, that's what's driving it. Speaking of community happenings, Tucson's beloved Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair is celebrating fifty seven years. This is a long standing tradition that really captures what makes our neighborhoods special. Now let's talk about what you need to know to get through today. We're bracing for early summer heat this weekend, with temperatures expected to reach ninety one degrees along the I ten corridor. The Reid Park Zoo is helping animals beat the extreme temperatures with ice pops and mud puddles, and the Red Cross has volunteers going door to door across Southern Arizona to share heat safety tips and supplies ahead of these record breaking temperatures. Make sure you stay hydrated if you're heading outside. Weather wise today, we're looking at a breezy to locally windy day across Southeast Arizona thanks to a backdoor frontal boundary moving in from the east. High temperatures will be in the upper seventies to upper eighties with partly cloudy skies. There is an Air Quality Alert for Cochise County on Sunday for dust, so if you're heading out toward that area, be aware that strong gusty winds could generate blowing dust. We're also keeping an eye on some ongoing community conversations. There was a significant No Kings protest here in Tucson recently, with residents of all ages joining a nationwide movement. Plus, an activist has filed a lawsuit against Pima County over the recent RTA next vote certification, alleging discrepancies in voter rolls and ballot counts.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, April fourth. We're starting this weekend with some exciting news from the University of Arizona. Head basketball coach Tommy Lloyd made a major announcement yesterday at the Final Four media day, confirming he's staying put in Tucson. Lloyd had been fielded by UNC and other programs, but he told reporters he's happy to announce he's remaining at Arizona. He credited university President Gammella, John Arnold, and the administration for showing real commitment to the program's vision. Lloyd emphasized that this wasn't about leverage, but rather about the university rallying behind the basketball program and investing in its future. For Wildcat fans, this is huge news as the team heads into tonight's Final Four matchup. Speaking of the Final Four being hosted right here, our city is buzzing with energy. The tournament is bringing visitors from across the country, and Tucson is really embracing the opportunity. If you're heading downtown or around the university area today, expect increased traffic and crowds as fans arrive for tonight's game. Let's talk weather because it's going to be a beautiful day to be outside. We're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high around eighty eight degrees and a low around sixty three tonight. There's virtually no chance of rain, so if you're planning any outdoor activities, conditions are ideal. Tomorrow will be even warmer with mostly sunny skies and highs reaching ninety degrees. For those looking for something to do today beyond the basketball action, the BICAS Art Mart is celebrating local creativity with artist vendors, food trucks, and prizes. There's also a Tucson chill ride ending at the event if you're interested in checking out the local art scene. If you're planning ahead, note that A Mountain will be closed this weekend for Easter events, so plan your hiking routes accordingly if that's part of your Saturday plans. We didn't see significant crime alerts in the past twenty four hours, but as always, we encourage you to stay aware of your surroundings and report anything suspicious to local authorities. As we head into the weekend, remember to take advantage of this gorgeous weather and support our Wildcats tonight.

It's the latest sign of the residential development rush happening on our southeast side, though longtime residents tell us they're noticing increased traffic and hoping the city keeps up with infrastructure needs. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, there's plenty happening. The National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament continues through tomorrow here in Tucson.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, March 29th. We're starting this morning with some significant activity that happened just yesterday across our community. Thousands of Tucsonans gathered at Reid Park for the fourth nationwide No Kings rally against President Trump's policies. By mid-morning, more than a thousand people had already lined up along East 22nd Street, with the crowd continuing to grow throughout the day. Signs stretched along the 22nd Street pathway past South Randolph Way, and organizers estimate attendance kept climbing as the event continued at the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center. Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva spoke to the crowd, emphasizing concerns about immigration enforcement, healthcare affordability, and what she called the fight against authoritarianism. The Tucson gathering was one of more than three thousand No Kings demonstrations registered across all fifty states and several countries, with organizers expecting nine million participants nationwide. There were about seventy-nine rallies planned across Arizona alone. For those who couldn't attend in person, activist groups also hosted virtual events. Speaking of government activity, the Arizona Legislature has been moving bills through committees this week. The focus has been on everything from fuel formulation waivers to school district financing and marijuana licensing. One notable measure on light rail expansion was weakened in committee after starting as an outright prohibition. On the crime front, we're following a developing story involving law enforcement accountability. A former Tucson deputy has been arrested on allegations of kidnapping a woman in custody. Court filings and surveillance video detail serious accusations, and initial appearances are being handled through the Pima County Jail system as of yesterday. Looking ahead to this week, our community continues to focus on the issues that brought people out to Reid Park yesterday. Residents remain engaged with their representatives about immigration policies, economic relief, and healthcare access. The energy from yesterday's demonstrations is expected to carry into discussions with elected officials as we move through the final weeks of March. For those planning their Sunday, it's a good day to be outdoors. The community spirit we saw at Reid Park yesterday really showed what Tucson is all about when neighbors come together around shared concerns.

On the community front, Pima County government offices are open today from seven in the morning until ten in the morning Mountain Standard Time, so if you have any county business to handle, keep those hours in mind.

The National Weather Service is tracking a cross-country storm that will bring heavy snow to the Upper Midwest and severe thunderstorm potential stretching from the Heartland all the way to the East Coast, while record heat is expected for areas out West. Here in Tucson, we should keep an eye on how this system develops, but for today we're looking at relatively typical spring conditions as we move through March. If you're planning any outdoor activities today or heading out around the Tucson area, it's a good Sunday to get out and enjoy what we've got weather-wise.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, March 7, 2026. We wake up today with an important development from City Hall. The City of Tucson and Tucson Electric Power say they have reached a major milestone on a new Energy Collaboration Agreement, a first of its kind in Arizona, aimed at expanding clean energy, building resilience hubs, and supporting local jobs. The draft is now out for public review, with meetings next week at TEP headquarters on East Broadway and online, and Mayor and Council set to study it later this month. City leaders say this could shape how we power our homes, our businesses, and even our cooling centers in extreme heat. As we talk about our day, we also need to acknowledge a heavy ongoing story. The search continues for 84 year old Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her Tucson home in early February. The Pima County Sheriff and the FBI are still working thousands of leads, and the family has increased the reward to one million dollars for information. Investigators have released video of a masked suspect approaching the home, but no arrests yet. We keep Nancy, her family, and neighbors across the east side in our thoughts as this investigation continues. On the crime front over the past 24 hours, Tucson Police report several vehicle break ins around North Campbell near Grant and a robbery investigation underway near South Sixth Avenue and 22nd Street. Police emphasize locking cars, removing valuables, and calling 911 immediately if we see suspicious activity. Looking outside, we have a cool desert morning with highs heading into the low 70s, light breezes, and plenty of sun. We stay dry today and tomorrow, which is great for outdoor plans, with just slightly warmer temperatures by early next week. Economically, local real estate agents say the median home price in the metro is holding around the low three hundreds, with fewer listings but steady demand near the University and in midtown. On the job front, hiring in healthcare and logistics remains strong, with hundreds of openings across the south side and around the airport. Culturally, Pima County is celebrating 25 years of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan with events this weekend, including a ceremony at Saguaro National Park West on North Kinney Road and a panel on women leaders in conservation at the Raúl Grijalva Canoa Ranch Conservation Park.

For music and community, downtown venues along Congress and Fourth Avenue are featuring local bands tonight, and family friendly events at Reid Park and along the Loop offer

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, March 6. We start with the biggest story gripping our community, the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old from the Catalina Foothills who vanished 33 days ago. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared exclusive updates yesterday with News 4 Tucson, saying investigators are combing through thousands of hours of traffic and Ring camera footage near her home on Oracle Road. FBI agents hit homes in the Foothills again for leads, and while a glove found two and a half miles away tested negative, others farther out near River Road are still under forensic review. That viral 911 call about a woman screaming from a dark Chevy Malibu near Oracle and River? Sheriff Nanos confirmed deputies checked it out that night, it was an unrelated domestic incident. No arrests yet, but the joint task force with FBI is focused and coordinated right here in Tucson. Savannah Guthrie visited her Today Show team yesterday, grateful for our support, and plans to return to work soon. We keep Nancy in our thoughts. Shifting to real estate buzz, Pace Morbys Creative Nation Tour rolls into Tucson tomorrow at a spot near Speedway Boulevard, highlighting hot RV park deals as baby boomers retire and sell off properties with creative financing, no big bank loans needed.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, March 5th. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall where our leaders just weighed big options for public power as the Tucson Electric Power franchise deal expires this year. Arizona Luminaria reports council members like Ward 6s Miranda Schubert pushed for exploring full ownership after nearly 1600 residents wrote in against rate hikes and that huge Project Blue data center. They outlined four paths from community power buying to buying out TEPs lines for one to three billion dollars but cooler heads like Mayor Romero say no way to that price tag right now instead handing it to the Climate Commission for more study. This could mean steadier bills and greener energy for us down the line so stay tuned and maybe speak up at council meetings. Shifting to a heartbreaking case investigators probe if South American theft groups targeted 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie who vanished from her Catalina Foothills home near Sabino Canyon. Ashleigh Banfields Drop Dead Serious podcast details how these crews scout rich spots like hers with high-tech surveillance and her daughters one million dollar reward might shake loose tips so if you know anything call Tucson PD right away.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Tuesday, March third. We're continuing coverage of the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the eighty-four-year-old mother of NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie. We're now on day thirty-one since Nancy went missing from her Catalina Foothills home on February first. Law enforcement believes she was taken against her will. Her family, including Savannah and her siblings, visited a memorial at Nancy's home yesterday, asking the community to continue praying and hoping for her safe return. The family is offering a one million dollar reward for information leading to Nancy's recovery, and investigators say that reward can be paid in cash. The Pima County Sheriff's Office is refocusing resources on the case, with the FBI now taking a larger role and moving some operations to Phoenix. Authorities have released surveillance footage showing a suspect at Nancy's doorstep, and they're asking anyone within a two-mile radius of her home to submit any video footage from January first through February second that might seem unusual or important. If you have information, you can call the FBI tip line at one-eight-hundred-call-FBI. On the brighter side, stargazers here in Tucson got to witness something truly magical early this morning. A total lunar eclipse moved across our skies, and observers from around the city watched as the moon took on that distinctive coppery red appearance during totality. The eclipse began with the penumbral phase around one forty-three in the morning, with the partial phase starting at two forty-nine. Totality arrived at four oh three in the morning and reached its peak at four thirty-three. Astronomers noted that the moon appeared medium-dark during the eclipse, and despite the brightness of the full moon, observers could actually see stars and even the Milky Way rising in the east. It was a slow and beautiful display of celestial geometry, and many Tucsonans took advantage of the clear skies and perfect viewing conditions we had overnight. The next total lunar eclipse visible from the United States won't happen until the start of summer in twenty twenty-nine, so this was definitely a rare treat for our community. As we head into the rest of this Tuesday, we're looking at generally pleasant conditions, though you'll want to check the latest forecast for any changes to today's weather plans.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, February 27. We start with the heartbreaking update on 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC Today host Savannah Guthrie, missing from her Catalina Foothills home since February 1. Yesterday, FBI agents, Pima County Sheriffs Department SUVs, and Comcast vans swarmed the property near the pool and front door where blood evidence was found, installing or repairing security cameras as they prepare to return the house to the family. Sources tell Fox News and ABC News the FBI is shifting its command post to Phoenix for intel work while keeping boots on the ground here, sifting through 1,600 new tips since Savannahs one million dollar reward. Doorbell footage shows a masked suspect, medium build, five foot nine to ten, in gray top, black pants, tampering with the camera that night.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, February 26. We start with the biggest story gripping our city on day 26 of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance from her Catalina Foothills home. Yesterday, federal prosecutors and nearly a dozen FBI investigators in unmarked SUVs swarmed her house on North Camino Miraval for hours, inspecting the entryway, backyard, pool area, and even carrying something out in blue gloves. This comes right after her family, including daughter Savannah Guthrie, upped the reward to one million dollars, sparking 1500 new tips. Neighbors report a suspicious young walker weeks before, hat low over his eyes near the intersection leading to her place, and they've been asked to check cameras from January 1 to February 2. But false online rumors have turned scary for local teacher Dominic Evans and his family, who cleared the air with authorities after crowds gathered at their Tucson home, forcing them to hide one night. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos calls it heartbreaking, urging folks to stick to facts. Starting today, no-parking zones widen on streets like East Camino La Zorrela, North Mina Vista, and North Camino El Ganado to ease media chaos, with 250 dollar fines for violators, though drop-offs are still okay. Shifting to city hall, transportation officials greenlit those parking rules to cut congestion and boost safety around the Foothills Estates. No major job shifts, but our market holds steady with about 4 percent unemployment. Real estate sees median home prices around 380 thousand dollars, up slightly from last month amid Foothills demand. Weather wise, mild sunny skies at 68 degrees today with low winds perfect for outdoor plans, though a cooler evening dips to 42, so layer up for events. New business buzz: a fresh coffee spot opens tomorrow on East Speedway near Reid Park. Community calendars highlight the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show wrapping this weekend at the Convention Center, and a free family fun run Saturday at Udall Park.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, February 22. We start with the heartbreaking top story dominating our airwaves, the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Catalina Foothills home three weeks ago today. Pima County Sheriffs just swept her neighborhood again, collecting more gloves for DNA analysis, including one from two miles away thats already in CODIS with no match yet. Theyre setting up barricades on her narrow street near Marvel Road, turning it one-way north to south to ease traffic for residents, garbage trucks, and school buses jammed by media presence. Sheriff Chris Nanos says they havent ruled out multiple suspects or an accomplice, and Mexican authorities are now assisting, given the proximity to the border. A $200,000 reward stands, and genetic genealogy testing continues on evidence from her home. Our hearts go out to the Guthrie family as we pray for answers soon. In other public safety news, a fugitive who escaped Pima County Jail back in 2022 after charges of kidnapping and assault was captured Friday in Mazatlan, Mexico, and rebooked here. U.S. Marshals and international partners made it happen, showing our cross-border teamwork in action. City Hall updates are light today, but keep an eye on traffic calming measures around high-profile scenes like this one, directly impacting your daily drives. No major new business openings or closings reported, though local real estate sees median home prices holding steady around $375,000, with jobs in healthcare adding about 500 positions last month per state labor data. Weather-wise, sunny skies with highs near 72 degrees make for perfect outdoor plans, but gusty winds up to 20 miles per hour could stir dust near Sabino Canyon. Expect clear nights cooling to 45. Looking ahead, community cleanup at Reid Park tomorrow at 8 AM, and Salpointe Highs basketball team takes on rivals Tuesday with their recent playoff push. A quick feel-good nod to Tucson Highs debate team winning regionals, sparking pride across our schools. Stay vigilant, neighbors, and thanks for tuning in. Subscribe for daily updates.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, February 21st. We're continuing to follow the major story dominating our community this morning. Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, has now been missing from her Catalina Foothills home for over three weeks. According to the FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Office, roughly 400 agents and deputies are actively canvassing Tucson as the investigation intensifies. The sheriff's department is asking anyone with doorbell or surveillance video from the evening of February 1st between 10 PM and 1 AM to come forward. They're also seeking footage from January 31st into February 1st during the late evening hours. Investigators released video showing an armed masked individual disabling her doorbell camera before she disappeared. The suspect is described as a man between five foot nine and five foot ten, wearing a ski mask and gloves, carrying what appears to be a black Ozark Trail backpack and a firearm. A hundred thousand dollar reward remains in place for information leading to Nancy's location. There's been an important development overnight. A Tucson couple discovered two gloves less than a mile away from Nancy's home on Campbell Avenue. One appeared to have blood on it. They found them Wednesday evening while searching the area. Sheriff Chris Nanos tells us they cannot yet confirm whether those specific gloves contain blood or are being tested as evidence, but investigators took them into custody when they arrived on scene. Meanwhile, authorities are pursuing new investigative angles. The Pima County Sheriff says they've contacted Google asking if the company can recover additional footage from cameras around Nancy's property beyond just the front door video. Google has indicated they don't believe they can retrieve it, but they're willing to try. A judge is set to decide Tuesday whether to allow Google to assist further in recovering any additional video. Investigators have also received mysterious communications. According to various news outlets, TMZ has received at least four anonymous messages from someone claiming to know information about Nancy's disappearance and demanding Bitcoin in exchange. The sender claims to have seen Nancy south of the border days after she vanished. Authorities are verifying whether these messages are legitimate or hoaxes. DNA evidence collected at the scene did not match federal databases, so investigators have turned to genetic genealogy testing to identify potential suspects. Private investigators have also suggested the area near Nancy's home is a known corridor for drug trafficking and money movement, raising questions about possible criminal enterprise involvement. The sheriff's department continues urging listeners to call the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI with any information. The county's 911 center is fielding thousands of tips daily.

The search for eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues as her family makes increasingly desperate pleas for her safe return. Nancy disappeared from her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson after being dropped off around ten p.m. on January thirty-first. She was reported missing the next morning when she failed to show up to church. Investigators believe she was taken against her will. DNA tests confirmed blood found on her front porch matches Nancy. According to the Pima County Sheriff's Office, no suspects have been identified at this time. The investigation has taken on new urgency this week as multiple ransom messages have surfaced. The Tucson television station KOLD received an initial email on Monday evening, just two days after Nancy's disappearance. The message included details about items Nancy had with her, though officials have not released specifics. A second message arrived on Friday afternoon without providing proof that she is still alive. Yesterday, the Guthrie family released a video message directly addressing whoever may be holding their mother. Speaking alongside her siblings, Today show host Savannah Guthrie told potential kidnappers that the family is willing to pay for her mother's safe return. Investigators say they are taking all messages seriously, though the authenticity of the ransom notes has not been confirmed. Searchers returned to Nancy's home for the third time on Friday as they work to recover additional evidence. Law enforcement has been canvassing nearby businesses requesting surveillance footage. A blue SUV belonging to Nancy was towed from her garage as part of the investigation. Authorities note that a doorbell camera at the home was disconnected early Sunday morning, just before Nancy's pacemaker disconnected from her phone around two thirty a.m. There is growing concern for Nancy's health. She requires daily medication for heart and blood pressure issues and relies on a pacemaker. Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated her condition is likely worsening by the day. The FBI is offering a fifty thousand dollar reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest of those responsible. If you have any information, listeners are urged to call the FBI tip line at one eight hundred call FBI. On a lighter note, the University of Arizona Wildcats softball team faced number three Oklahoma yesterday, falling twenty-one to three in five innings at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, February 6. We start with our top story shaking our community: the heartbreaking disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Catalina Foothills home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says blood on her front porch matches hers, and they believe she was taken against her will around 2 a.m. on February 1, right after her doorbell camera disconnected and her pacemaker app went offline. The FBI offers a $50,000 reward for tips, and ransom notes sent to outlets like KOLD-TV include details only the abductor would know, though one led to a fake note arrest. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings pleaded on video for proof she's alive, but no response yet. We hold out hope she's still out there and urge listeners to call authorities with any info. Shifting to public safety, that's our main crime alert from the past day—no other major incidents reported, keeping our streets relatively calm. From city hall, no big decisions today, but we're watching how this case impacts neighborhood patrols in hilly desert areas like Catalina Foothills. The national jobs market crashed with over 100,000 cuts last month, per Challenger Gray reports, which could ripple here as Amazon and others trim back—our local seekers, stay vigilant. Real estate holds steady, with Catalina Foothills median prices around $800,000, drawing eyes amid the news. Weather-wise, sunny skies at 68 degrees make for perfect outdoor time, though gusty winds near Tucson Mall could scatter events—clear tonight into tomorrow. New business buzz: a fresh coffee spot opens on Speedway Boulevard near Reid Park this weekend. Upcoming, join a vigil for Nancy at Foothills church tonight, and UA Wildcats basketball tips off Saturday at McKale Center—go Cats! Salpointe Catholic High just notched a regional soccer win, boosting our school pride. And a feel-good note: neighbors rallied with candles and prayers for Nancy, showing our tight-knit spirit.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1. We kick off with last nights heartbreak at Tucson Arena, where our Roadrunners built a two-goal lead in the second period thanks to Andrew Agozzinos tally and Ben McCartneys power-play strike, but Colorado Eagles stormed back with two third-period goals and won it three-two in overtime on Tristen Nielsens late shot. Matthew Villalta stood tall with twenty-four saves, and Tucson holds seventh in the Pacific Division playoff chase. Fans, catch them next Wednesday in Ontario.

Local districts like Amphitheater are setting budgets with tiny tax cuts, easing family wallets amid daily life. City Hall updates bring good news from Pima County, where sites around Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley now offer round-the-clock sandbag access off Ina Road and Kolb Road prepping for monsoons, a smart move keeping our streets safer. Governor Hobbs appointed Judge Kristin Schriner to Pima Superior Court, strengthening justice here. Weather today stays mild with highs near sixty-five under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans at Saguaro National Park, though a slight chill means light jackets for evening walks. Expect the same tomorrow with no big disruptions. No major crime hits in the past day, just routine patrols keeping neighborhoods like those near Speedway and Campbell secure.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, January thirty-first. We're starting this morning with significant activity downtown as hundreds of protesters have marched against ICE enforcement, making their way through Phoenix streets before gathering at the Arizona State Capitol. This action reflects growing community concerns about immigration enforcement policies affecting our region. In education news, Pima Community College is making waves with enhanced entrepreneurship coursework. Professor Greg Watson has expanded the Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship course with new digital transformation modules launching this cycle. The updated curriculum now includes eight core modules covering everything from market opportunity identification to social media marketing and search engine optimization. It's designed for both full-time students and working professionals seeking practical business skills, with guest speakers from our local business community providing mentorship throughout the program. Speaking of schools, at Marana Unified School District, Twin Peaks K-eight is preparing for several community events. Kindergarten registration opens February ninth for the twenty twenty-six twenty-seven school year, and the school is hosting parent-teacher conferences during that same week. Coming up February thirteenth, the PTF is presenting an Under the Sea gala at StarDance Event Center from five thirty to eight in the evening, a family-friendly celebration that's sure to be a hit. On the animal welfare front, Pima Animal Care Center continues working to address overcrowding. The facility is preparing for its biannual Snip and Tip community cat spay and neuter event scheduled for November seventh through ninth at their Silverbell Road location. They're actively seeking donations of supplies like cat carriers, sheets, towels, and cat food to make the event successful. University of Arizona student-athletes are being recognized for their academic achievements. Sixty-six Arizona Wildcats earned spots on the Big Twelve Conference All-Academic team, demonstrating that our student-athletes are excelling both on the field and in the classroom. Locally, there's also ongoing development in county planning. Pima County's updated comprehensive land use plan, called Pima Prospers twenty twenty-five, was approved last October and focuses on increasing housing supply, protecting our water resources, and preserving the natural landscapes our community cherishes. The plan balances growth with conservation efforts that have protected over three thousand acres of open space. As we head into the weekend, we're looking at typical winter conditions for our area, so enjoy the mild temperatures and clear skies we typically see this time of year.

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th. We start with breaking news from early Tuesday morning on Interstate 10 near Speedway Boulevard. An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper pursued a white Toyota Camry driver for criminal speeding near milepost 252. The chase ended when the suspect crashed after hitting a bicyclist and pedestrian, then fired at the trooper, who returned fire. The suspect faces life-threatening injuries and is in custody at a local hospital. Sadly, the bicyclist died from injuries, while the pedestrian has non-life-threatening wounds. A trooper suffered minor injuries. The intersection fully reopened yesterday afternoon, but our thoughts go out to those affected as investigations continue. Shifting to our weather, its partly cloudy and mild today with highs around 69 degrees and lows near 44. Light winds up to 15 miles per hour make it perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for cooler evenings. No rain expected, so events like the Salpointe Catholic High School Stevens Gallery exhibit Dreams, Deities and Archetypes on East Pima Street go off without a hitch. Looking ahead, expect sunnier skies Friday with 73 degrees. In city updates, Tucson Pride, our oldest Pride organization after nearly 50 years, announced its shutdown yesterday, marking the end of a key cultural staple. Meanwhile, University of Arizona celebrates Eller College alum James Muzzy as 2026 Alumni of the Year for his philanthropy in education and arts, honored February 13th at the Student Union Memorial Center. No major city hall decisions today, but keep an eye on traffic around Davis-Monthan Air Force Base amid routine operations. New business news stays quiet with no big openings or closings. Job market holds steady, real estate sees about 5 percent year-over-year price growth in areas like Tucson National Estates. Salpointe students shine with their gallery show, a win for local arts achievement. For community vibes, join the UA alumni event soon.
