🌪️ TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ARIZONA

A significant severe weather event is unfolding across Arizona today, Wednesday, October 21, with portions of northern Arizona now under a Tornado Watch until 6:00 p.m. MST.

The Tornado Watch includes:

⚠️ Coconino County
⚠️ Mohave County
⚠️ Navajo County
⚠️ Yavapai County

This means conditions across the watch area are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes.

This is not simply a forecast for later in the day. Tornado Warnings have already been issued in portions of northern Arizona today as thunderstorms showing rotation moved through the region.

One Tornado Warning issued this morning for Yavapai County involved a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado near Jerome, moving north at approximately 45 mph. Earlier Tornado Warnings were also issued in Coconino County and portions of Coconino and Yavapai counties.

⛈️ SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ACROSS ARIZONA

A powerful storm system is creating an unusually active weather day across the state. Depending on location, threats include:

🌪️ Tornadoes
🧊 Large hail
💨 Damaging wind gusts
⛈️ Severe thunderstorms
🌧️ Heavy rainfall and flash flooding

A Flood Watch is also in effect across northern and central Arizona through Thursday evening, with flash flooding possible in normally dry washes, creeks, low-water crossings and recently burned areas.

📍 SOUTHEAST ARIZONA

While the current Tornado Watch is focused on northern Arizona, residents in Cochise County and throughout southeastern Arizona should continue monitoring conditions today as this larger weather system moves through the state.

A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.

A Tornado Warning means a tornado has been indicated by radar or observed and immediate action should be taken in the warned area.

If a Tornado Warning is issued where you are, move immediately to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows.

This is an unusually active severe-weather day for Arizona. Stay weather-aware and make sure you have a reliable way to receive warnings.

CoolFMLive will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as additional watches and warnings are issued.

⚡ GREAT SCOTT! IT’S BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY! 🚗💨

On October 21, 2015, Marty McFly and Doc Brown arrived in “the future” in Back to the Future Part II.

That means the movie’s version of the future is officially 11 years in our past. 😳

Flying cars? Not quite.

Hoverboards? Well… sort of.

Video calls, wearable technology, huge flat-screen TVs and fingerprint technology? The movie wasn’t too far off on some things.

So, Cochise County, here’s today’s question:

👇 If you could jump in the DeLorean and travel to ANY year — past or future — what year would you choose and why?

Happy Back to the Future Day! ⚡

🏞️ CHIRICAHUA OFFICIALLY BECOMES AMERICA’S 64TH NATIONAL PARK 🇺🇸

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — One of southeastern Arizona’s most recognizable landscapes has officially received a new national designation.

President Donald Trump signed the Chiricahua National Park Act into law Tuesday, October 20, redesignating Chiricahua National Monument as Chiricahua National Park.

The designation makes Chiricahua the 64th national park in the United States and Arizona’s fourth, joining Grand Canyon, Saguaro and Petrified Forest national parks.

Located in Cochise County, Chiricahua encompasses approximately 12,000 acres and is famous for its towering rock formations, balanced rocks, hiking trails, wildlife and dark skies.

The formations that make up the area’s well-known “Wonderland of Rocks” began taking shape following massive volcanic activity roughly 27 million years ago, with millions of years of erosion creating the landscape visitors see today.

The area has been federally protected for more than a century. President Calvin Coolidge established Chiricahua National Monument in 1924.

The redesignation does not create a new park or significantly change its boundaries. Instead, it gives the existing National Park Service site national park status while maintaining opportunities for hiking, camping, scenic drives, wildlife viewing and stargazing.

The change could also have a significant impact beyond the park itself.

National park status could bring increased attention and tourism to southeastern Arizona, potentially benefiting Willcox and other Cochise County communities as visitors seek lodging, restaurants, fuel and other local services.

Chiricahua also carries deep cultural and historical significance, including its importance as part of the homeland of the Chiricahua Apache. The legislation includes provisions protecting traditional cultural and religious sites and tribal access for traditional activities.

For Cochise County, the landscape itself isn’t changing — but its place on the national map certainly is.

🏜️ Welcome to Chiricahua National Park — America’s 64th national park and Arizona’s fourth.

⛈️ SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ACROSS ARIZONA TODAY

Residents across Arizona are encouraged to stay weather-aware today as conditions could support severe thunderstorms, large hail, damaging wind gusts and even a couple of tornadoes in parts of the state.

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of Arizona under a Moderate Risk for severe weather, with the greatest threat currently expected along the Mogollon Rim and generally north of the Tucson area.

⚠️ WHAT ABOUT COCHISE COUNTY?

While Cochise County is not expected to be the primary focus of the most significant severe weather, strong to potentially severe thunderstorms are still possible in our area today.

Any stronger storm that develops could potentially produce:

• Strong, damaging wind gusts
• Hail
• Frequent lightning
• Heavy rainfall and localized flooding
• Rapidly changing driving conditions

Because severe thunderstorms can develop and strengthen quickly, residents should keep an eye on changing weather conditions throughout the day and have multiple ways to receive weather warnings.

Remember the difference:

🟡 WATCH: Conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop. Be prepared.

🔴 WARNING: Severe weather is occurring or imminent. Take action and seek appropriate shelter.

If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows, and remain there until the warning has expired.

CoolFMLive will continue monitoring conditions across Cochise County and Southeastern Arizona and will provide updates if watches or warnings are issued.
