Monday, July 27, 2026 Good Morning! On this day in 1989, Yuma was hit by a severe thunderstorm, with wind gusts reportedly near 95 mph, near-zero visibility in blowing dust, and nearly a full year's worth of rain in about an hour. Have you factored these three flaws into your retirement math? Financial advisers have leaned on the same rule of thumb for decades, and the plan you've been counting on may be built around a number that quietly stops working just when you need it most. In today's episode of The Flyover Podcast, Ayla shares three flaws hiding in your retirement math and the fix that keeps the bills covered no matter what the market does. So how many of the three have you already planned for? Tune in here! Today’s sponsor, Lemonade Pet Insurance, helps pet owners manage rising vet costs with affordable plans starting around $10/month and flexible coverage designed to protect both your pet’s health and your budget.

Nights Not Bringing Heat Relief An extreme heat warning continues across Phoenix and Arizona's lower deserts, with record-high overnight and morning temperatures adding to the dangerous conditions. The forecast for the rest of the week calls for more 110-degree-plus temperatures, with a few more clouds and a greater chance for showers and thunderstorms. On Friday, Phoenix hit 117 degrees, breaking the city's daily record of 116 set in 2023, then hit 117 again Saturday. Temperatures didn't cool much overnight, as the Friday morning low of 97 degrees in Phoenix tied the city's warmest low ever recorded. Court Blocks Orchard Tree Tax The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously that orchard trees, vineyard vines, and other permanent crops must be valued like the farmland beneath them. The dispute began when Cochise County applied the state's income-based method to farmland but assigned higher market values to trees and vines. The result: orchard values rose an average of 2,000% and vineyard values an average of 8,000%. Justice Maria Elena Cruz wrote that a separate market value would reintroduce market considerations the state Legislature expressly told assessors to disregard, and that taxing the same crops twice is barred. The court declared parts of the Department of Revenue's Agricultural Property Manual unenforceable, holding the agency cannot expand valuation methods the Legislature set. Governor's Race Takes Shape Arizona's November ballot is set, with Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs facing Republican Andy Biggs, Green Party nominee Risa Lombardo, and a No Labels candidate who upset her own party's endorsed pick. Nominees in both parties have staked out positions on vouchers, groundwater, and housing. Last week, Biggs picked up an endorsement from former Gov. Jan Brewer. In the No Labels primary, Teri Ann Hourihan, a Phoenix mental health counselor and former longtime Democrat, raised about $40,000 and beat a rival who self-funded most of a $2.1 million campaign and carried the party's endorsement. Early voting begins Oct. 7 for the general election that will also feature a full slate of statewide and local races and ballot questions, including matchups for the closely divided state House and Senate.

Heat Wave Breaks Records Denver hit 101 degrees on Saturday, breaking a heat record for July 25 that had stood since 1963, and Sunday reached 102 to 103 degrees. Boulder and Fort Collins also broke daily heat records on Saturday, hitting 100 and 101 degrees, respectively, both eclipsing marks set in 2023.

Weld County Crash Kills 3 A speeding Chevrolet Tahoe rolled several times and ejected all five occupants on Weld County Road 80 Saturday evening.

The Eaton School District confirmed four recent graduates and another individual were involved, and said crisis counselors would be available at the high school Sunday for students and community members. Authorities closed the road for about six hours to investigate. The coroner's office will release the victims' names once next of kin have been notified. Razorback Sucker No Longer Endangered Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) announced the razorback sucker, a large native fish of the Colorado River Basin, has been downgraded from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act. CPW says the decision validates more than three decades of recovery work after the fish was first listed as endangered in 1991 due to habitat loss from dams and predation by non-native fish. Officials say the species still faces challenges, especially during drought years, and will continue to need active management including flow management and restocking efforts. Community programs, including a Palisade High School student-led hatchery that has released more than 1,500 fish, continue to support the recovery effort.
