As of 4:00 a.m., the satellite radar showed some very light scattered shower activity in the Santa Barbara County mountains and foothills. It’s possible the north coast could receive some light drizzle around 3:00 p.m. but weather models indicate most of the activity looks to be off the coast.
Daytime highs will range from the low to upper 60s Wednesday, with cooler temperatures in the interior valleys. The weekend still looks to be warm, with temperatures expected to reach the low to mid-70s.
