A Change in the Weather Coming to Cochise County

Winter is finally coming to Southeastern Arizona. Well, kind of. We're expecting a little more rain to roll into our area, and even though temperatures are taking a little dip, the chance for snow is still just a dream.

The chance of precipitation will climb into the 30–45% range. Some areas in the county may see a few brief thunderstorms, but it'll most likely hit the higher elevations. The total rainfall won’t be too impressive, but the moisture will be enough to give us a fresh, rain‑washed feel.

Overall, it'll be a nice way to break up the mono-season we've been experiencing since late Fall and help to recharge our parched aquifers, at least a little bit.
