⚠️ HEAVY RAIN & THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY & SUNDAY

SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA — Residents should be prepared for periods of showers and thunderstorms over the next several days, with heavy rainfall potentially creating areas of flash flooding.

According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday, with portions of southeastern Arizona under a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding.

Saturday is expected to bring only a slight chance of a shower during the day, but rain and thunderstorm chances will begin increasing again Saturday evening and overnight.

By Sunday, rain chances become much more widespread across southeastern Arizona, along with scattered thunderstorms. The National Weather Service outlook places much of the region, including areas around Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Benson and Tucson, within a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall.

A Slight Risk means there is at least a 15% probability of rainfall exceeding flash-flood guidance within 25 miles of a given point. It does not mean every location will experience flooding, but conditions could become hazardous where heavier storms repeatedly move across the same areas.

Residents should remain especially cautious around washes, low-water crossings, normally dry creek beds and other flood-prone locations. Never attempt to drive through a flooded roadway — water can be deeper and moving faster than it appears.

⛈️ FRIDAY: Scattered showers and thunderstorms; localized heavy rainfall possible.

🌦️ SATURDAY: Slight chance of showers during the day, with thunderstorm chances increasing during the evening and overnight.

🌧️ SUNDAY: Widespread chances for rain with scattered thunderstorms and an increased risk of flash flooding.

Keep an eye on changing weather conditions throughout the weekend, especially if you have outdoor activities or travel planned.

CoolFMLive will continue to monitor the weather and provide updates as conditions develop.

🚨 WANTED SUSPECT JARED “JOLLY” BROWN APPEARS VIA ZOOM IN SEPARATE FELONY CASES 🚨

COCHISE COUNTY — Jared C. “Jolly” Brown remains wanted following the Oct. 16 incident at Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar in Sierra Vista, but his other pending criminal cases were back before a Cochise County judge Monday.

Brown, 40, joined Monday’s 10/26 court proceedings remotely. According to Cochise County Attorney Lori Zucco, Brown’s remote appearance was permitted by the court. Zucco also clarified that remote court appearances with court approval are not unusual and are not an accommodation unique to Brown.

The hearings concerned two aggravated assault cases filed against Brown following separate incidents alleged to have occurred in 2025.

Those cases are not connected to the Uncle Sharkii investigation.

Brown was released from custody earlier this year while the 2025 cases remained pending. Court information shows a $5,000 bond was posted in connection with one of those cases, while an additional bond was not required in the other.

Brown’s legal situation changed again following the Oct. 16 incident at Uncle Sharkii.

According to reports from Cochise County Attorney’s Office, Brown assaulted a restaurant employee and a customer who intervened before leaving the business prior to officers arriving.

Prosecutors subsequently brought additional felony allegations against Brown and sought to have him held without bond, citing his release status in another pending felony matter.

Brown has not been arrested in connection with the Uncle Sharkii case and remains at large with an active nationwide warrant.

Following Monday’s remote proceedings, Judge Jason Lindstrom directed Brown to be physically present in court Nov. 2 for the two earlier cases.

Brown’s involvement with the Cochise County criminal justice system predates the current cases. An October 2021 incident near the Circle K on Garden Avenue in Sierra Vista involved an exchange of gunfire that resulted in rounds striking vehicles, the business and nearby occupied residences. Brown was later convicted of felony endangerment and possession of a narcotic drug for sale.

Before sentencing in that matter was completed, Brown was arrested in a separate aggravated DUI case. He ultimately received a three-year prison sentence related to the 2021 case and a 2½-year sentence for the felony DUI, with the sentences running concurrently.

After reaching eligibility for release in 2025, Brown subsequently became the defendant in the two aggravated assault cases that were before the court Monday.

Cochise County Attorney Lori Zucco has urged Brown to turn himself in.

CoolFMLive will continue following the outstanding warrant and Brown’s pending court cases.

Brown’s previous convictions are separate from the allegations currently pending against him. The 2025 aggravated assault cases and the allegations arising from the Oct. 16 Uncle Sharkii incident have not resulted in convictions. Brown is presumed innocent of those pending charges unless and until proven guilty in court.

🚨 FIRST NEW SCREWWORM CASE CONFIRMED IN ARIZONA — FOUND IN COCHISE COUNTY DOG 🚨

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — Arizona has confirmed its first case of New World screwworm, and the detection was made right here in Cochise County.

The case involves a dog living on a ranch in Cochise County. Federal officials confirmed the infection Wednesday, October 28, after samples from the animal were tested at a USDA veterinary laboratory.

New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae can infest wounds and feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals. It can affect livestock, horses, pets and wildlife and, more rarely, humans.

The parasite is particularly concerning to ranchers and livestock producers because an untreated infestation can cause severe wounds, serious illness and potentially death.

Federal and state animal health officials are responding to the Cochise County detection. According to the USDA, response measures include establishing a 20-kilometer infested zone around the detection, placing controls on animal movement within the affected area, increasing surveillance and trapping, releasing sterile flies and conducting outreach to veterinarians, livestock producers and communities.

For pet and livestock owners, officials are emphasizing vigilance rather than panic.

Animal owners should regularly inspect their animals, particularly around open wounds, cuts, surgical sites or other skin injuries. Suspicious wounds, maggots or signs of an infestation should be reported immediately and evaluated by a veterinarian.

The New World screwworm had previously been eradicated from the United States but has been moving north through Central America and Mexico. Cases have since been detected in the United States, including Texas and New Mexico. Earlier this month, additional cases were confirmed in southwestern New Mexico near the Arizona state line.

The risk to people remains very low, according to federal health officials, and there have been no reported locally acquired human infestations in the United States during the current outbreak.

This is a developing situation, particularly for Cochise County’s ranching and agricultural communities.

CoolFMLive will continue monitoring information from the USDA, Arizona Department of Agriculture and local officials and will provide updates as additional details become available.
