Flood Advisory for Pima AZ Warns of Minor Flooding Until Sunday Morning
The National Weather Service in Tucson has issued a Flood Advisory for Pima AZ, in effect until 9:30 a.m. MST Sunday, August 30. The advisory, issued at 9:38 p.m. MST Saturday, warns of small stream flooding caused by excessive rainfall.
Minor flooding is expected in low-lying and poor drainage areas, with rises in small streams and normally dry washes. Some low-water crossings may become impassable. The Weather Service advises: "Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles." It also cautions that flooding can occur even in locations not receiving rain, as distant rainfall can turn washes and streams into dangerous currents.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
