Southwest Flood Watches Expand as Saturated Ground Threatens New Rainfall

The National Weather Service has issued flood watches across nearly all of Arizona and parts of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada due to up to 4 inches of rain expected through Monday. The region is already saturated from previous storms, increasing the risk of flash and small-stream flooding. Emergency crews have already conducted multiple vehicle and swift-water rescues in Arizona and Nevada, with one fatality reported in Henderson, Nevada.

Horowitzes Pledge $150M for Nevada’s First Standalone Children’s Hospital

Felicia and Ben Horowitz have committed $150 million to Intermountain Health, funding the construction of Nevada’s first standalone children’s hospital. The facility, named in their honor, is set to break ground in late 2026 and open in 2030 at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park in southwest Las Vegas. The donation, described as one of the largest ever for a U.S. children’s hospital, aims to address a critical gap in pediatric care, as Las Vegas is the largest U.S. metro area without such a facility. The project is part of a broader $1 billion initiative to recruit specialists and expand behavioral health services.

Arizona joins Nevada in federal suit to block Colorado River water cuts

Arizona joins Nevada in federal suit to block Colorado River water cuts

Arizona has filed a motion to join Nevada’s lawsuit against the federal government over new Colorado River management rules. The federal plan mandates 20% water cuts for lower-basin states through 2028, with potential 40% reductions later. Arizona, facing the largest share of these cuts, argues the Bureau of Reclamation violated procedural laws by ignoring warnings from state leaders. While the suit challenges the legality of the plan, it does not seek an immediate pause on the rules, which take effect on January 1, 2027. Arizona and Nevada remain in negotiations with California to share the burden of these reductions.

Nevada Governor Imposes Data Center Cost Rules Ahead of Midterms

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed an executive order requiring data centers seeking state tax breaks to cover their own power costs, protect water resources, and prevent ratepayer cost increases. The move, effective immediately, applies only to new incentive applicants and includes provisions to claw back benefits for violations. It occurs amid a tight gubernatorial race and broader Republican efforts to address voter anxiety over data center impacts.
