TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Mostly dry conditions are expected across Southeast Arizona through the weekend before deeper moisture moves into the region next week.

Across Cochise County, Sierra Vista is forecast to start the day around 72 degrees. Other communities across the county will be slightly cooler, with overnight lows in the upper 60s.
