Water Whys Works with National Weathers Service to Warn Travelers

When people from out-of-state fly into the International Tucson Airport, they will be greeted with a graphic that will let them know of the hazardous weather in Arizona. Those will include intense heat, dust storms and flash flooding.

The graphic is the product of a partnership between the University of Arizona’s Water Whys program, the National Weather Service — Tucson and Tucson Airport Authority.

“We worked with the NWS and we really listened to them about what are the big concerns, what are the things you need people to know that are unique to Tucson,” said Laura Condon, a professor in the University of Arizona’s Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences and a member of Water Whys. “That should be the things people know when they’re getting off the plane and heading into the desert.”
