TUCSON (KGUN9-TV)  - A Hard Freeze Warning is in effect from 1:00Am to 9:00AM Sunday, and 1:00AM to 9:00AM Monday for much of Cochise and northern Santa Cruz counties as well as valley locations south and east of Tucson.

The cutoff low that brought rain and mountain snow Friday and early Saturday will move east. In its wake, clear skies, lower humidity levels, and very cold air will set in. Look for temperatures in the mid to upper 30s early Sunday in Tucson with low to mid 30s possible early Monday. While most of the city will remain above freezing, but a few locations near washes may touch 32 for a brief period of time.

Cities such as Sierra Vista, Benson, Douglas, and Willcox will likely see freezing weather Sunday and Monday.
