Monsoon 2017

Heavy rainfall over the past week has more than made up for the monsoon’s late start this year. Parts of Tucson’s west side received more than 3 inches of rain Monday.

While critical fire weather conditions exist today for most of Cochise County, where a red flag warning is in effect, widespread rainfall is expected to hit all of southeast Arizona later this week.

A storm system west of Tucson will start bringing the possibility of showers as early as today and continuing tomorrow.

Widespread showers are expected from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, with rainfall amounts ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 of an inch.

High: 72

Low: 50
