The Tucson area will see some high winds and a possibility of rain today, but Hurricane Norbert will only partially affect this weekend's weather.
A trough of low pressure from the Pacific will cause windy conditions around Tucson, while Norbert will push moisture from central Mexico into Southern Arizona, the National Weather Service says.
The two weather systems will cause a cold front to pass through the Tucson area this afternoon. Temperatures are expected to stay in the 70s today and Sunday.
Areas of Cochise County will likely receive the heaviest rainfall today.
