Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer Monday, ranging from the mid-60s to the low 70s for valley locations and peaking close to the mid-60s along the coast.
Skies will be mostly clear throughout the morning with increasing mid-to-high level cloud cover into the overnight hours. Scattered rain activity could develop Tuesday morning in the mountains and foothills east of Santa Barbara County. Starting Thursday, temperatures will begin to trend down by at least five degrees as an upper-level low-pressure system swings over the area.
