GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US. I'M KEVIN BOUGHTON.
I'M VALERIE CAVAZOS.
WE'RE GETTING RIGHT TO WEATHER
WITH CUYLER DIGGS...
FLOODING CONTINUES TO BE A
CONCERN FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEASTERN
ARIZONA. HEAVY RAIN HAS FALLEN
OVER THE CATALINAS AND RINCONS,
SO FLOODING FROM RUNOFF IS STILL
HEAVY IN CREEKS AND CANYONS.
OVERNIGHT, IN TUCSON, WE'LL SEE
A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS WITH
A LOW OF 74 DEGREES. THE
MONSOON WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A
CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE AREA THIS
WEEK. WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE
CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS
COMING UP IN YOUR FORECAST.
