Wet Weather on its Way

Welcome February weather this last week of January: 

Forecast Discussion: The trough to the west is bearing down on Arizona bringing the overcast skies that we are currently seeing. We are confident that most of the state will receive a fair amount of precipitation, which will help improve air quality the next couple days. The Phoenix area will likely receive between a quarter to a half inch of rain with some areas getting even more. Rain should begin late tonight and last most of Friday with scattered showers continuing through Saturday as well. Conditions should begin clearing out late on Saturday with mostly sunny skies expected for Super Bowl Sunday. While the weather is looking good for the Super Bowl, the Phoenix Open will have to contend with wet conditions and temperatures in the lower 60's on Friday and Saturday. Remember, with all the festivities going on the next few days there will be more cars than usual on the road, so be safe while driving in the rainy conditions. Check back on Friday for a closer look at the weekend's weather and air quality.

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Sometimes people have to make light of a serious situation. Like, who is letting their dogs out at night or during the morning without supervision? Phoenix has a Leash Law. So if you cannot keep your dogs safe, then adopt them out to someone who will. A pet at the vet for being hit by a car is heartbreaking to a family.

As you know, Villa de Paz is currently fighting a developer and the city against a proposed housing development as well as accusations of our community being run down. 

It might be a once and awhile occurrence but please, respect your pets. Respect your neighbors. Respect the community of Villa de Paz: keep your canines in your yard or on a leash.

Let's show the world that our community means more to us than not picking up our own backyards.

Your neighbors thank you.
