Thunderstorm Watch for Santa Cruz and the Southern half of Cochise County, Centering Sierra Vista, August 28, 2025

0Shares

Arizona Weather Force has issued a Thunderstorm Watch effective Thursday, August 28th, 2025 for the following zones;

Issued Zones: Southern half of Cochise County … All of Santa Cruz County … 

Date Issued: August 28th, 2025 at 10:00am Local

Discussion: An upper-level low will sneak in southeast of the watch zone.  This will bring upper level lift on the northwest side of it, with storm motion predominantly out of the south.  Scattered thunderstorms below severe limits will be likely, with maybe a cell being marginally severe.  The center of the dynamics looks to be Southwestern Cochise County  … still, a small-scale active day for the watch zone is expected.

A Thunderstorm Watch is issued at Arizona Weather Force when conditions are possible for thunderstorms, covering 50% of the watch zone.  Thunderstorm Watches at Arizona Weather Force are private, issued ahead of time to the public by AZWF as the lead-time is extremely important to you.
