A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR AL GAMEROS — Saturday, October 11, 2025

WEATHER TIMELINE FOR GLOBE: Hurricane Priscilla has weakened significantly as it moved northward off the coast of Mexico and is now considered a post-tropical remnant. While the storm itself is dissipating far to the southwest, the tropical moisture it is pulling into the region is causing the hazardous conditions.

Saturday, October 11 – Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the day and into the night. The risk of flash flooding is highest during this period.

Sunday, October 12 – Showers will continue, with the Flood Watch remaining in effect.

Monday, October 13 – The Flood Watch will expire at midnight. Showers are likely, followed by a slight chance of showers on Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Raymond’s moisture is arriving in Arizona on the heels of Tropical Storm Priscilla. Raymond’s moisture is expected to begin sending heavy rain into eastern and southern Arizona, that could affect the Globe area on October 11th.

CURFEW CONTINUES: Due to public safety concerns related to potential flooding and to support emergency response efforts, a curfew was initiated that began Friday night. This curfew affects the areas between the current barricades that have been identified from Bailey Street, north to the entrance of Broad Street at the Railroad Trestle. This will be in effect from dusk to dawn. All businesses outside the barricade area remain open. Please continue to support these businesses during this time.

• Time Frame: Dusk to Dawn

• End Time: Through Tuesday, unless conditions improve sooner

City staff will continuously monitor weather developments, and the curfew timeframe may be adjusted as conditions change. We appreciate your cooperation as we take proactive measures to ensure the safety of our residents and protect our community.

PROPANE TANKS REMOVED: The propane tanks were removed and were relocated to a higher ground area. This protective measure was initiated by the City with Matlock Gas with consultation from Gila County in anticipation of the upcoming storms, to protect life safety, property, and the environment.

RED CROSS SHELTER: This is a reminder that the American Red Cross is still open for limited support services at Lee Kornegay School, 4635 Railroad Avenue in Claypool. The hours of operation are 9am to 7pm.

PUBLIC SAFETY: The city has increased fire and police personnel for the weekend. These additional personnel are on standby to respond to any emergencies and will actively monitor creeks and waterways as rainfalls intensifies.

We continue to pray that both tropical systems spare our community from heavy and devastating rainfall as we work toward recovery. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support. Please stay alert to official updates and remain safe.
