Local reporter Ariana Bos caught in hailstorm
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — While KREX reporter Ariana Bos was reporting on a different event on Friday evening, she got caught up in the hailstorm that swept through Grand Junction. Fortunately, Bos was saved from the rain and hail by another KREX reporter, Titus Cleveland, and her husband, Maartin Bos. Ariana Bos was uninjured. The aftermath of the hailstorm left dents in cars, leaves and trees on the ground, and flooding in some areas of Mesa County. Emergency services responded to calls throughout the storm. A series of photos of the aftermath of the hailstorm from Scott Sheirff and a photo of hail at the KREX5 News station in Grand Junction, posted on Kyle Kawamoto's Instagram. The National Weather Service warning had predicted that the hail would be the size of a ping pong ball; however, during the storm, people reported that they saw hail that was closer to the size of a golf ball. At this time, Mesa County is no longer under a Severe thunderstorm Warning from the National Weather Service. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ranch Fire in Santa Cruz County Burns 2,700 Acres, Now 47% Contained
The Ranch Fire, a 2,751-acre wildfire burning in Santa Cruz County, is 47% contained as of Friday morning, according to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. Sparked by a lightning strike to a tree on Wednesday morning, the fire is burning about 19 miles southeast of Patagonia in the San Rafael Valley. Fueled by dense grasses and brush, strong winds have driven the flames from state land into the Coronado National Forest. Throughout the week, large air tankers worked with crews on the ground to suppress the flames, aided by cooler overnight temperatures and increased relative humidity. Crews are continuing mop-up operations along the fire's perimeter and within areas of heavy vegetation, as they work toward full containment. The Santa Cruz County Office of Emergency Management has downgraded all residents to the "Ready" phase of the "Ready, Set, Go" emergency response system. Santa Cruz County residents can sign up for emergency alerts at: Approximately 135 personnel remain assigned to the fire, including hand crews and engines. In May 2025, state, federal, and tribal agencies enacted Stage 2 fire restrictions across southeastern Arizona in response to extreme drought and heightened wildfire risk. Effective since May 12, the restrictions ban all campfires and stove fires on public lands—including those in developed campsites—as well as outdoor smoking. Fireworks have remained strictly prohibited on both state and federal lands. Violations of the restrictions were punishable by a fine or imprisonment, and violators may be held personally responsible for reimbursement of fire suppression costs. Visitors and residents should check with local jurisdictions for relevant information, as fire restrictions are subject to change.
