Periods of moderate to heavy rain and snow are expected to return Monday, with showers potentially lingering into Wednesday.
Snow is anticipated to fall below major pass levels by Tuesday.
A plume of moisture is moving slowly into southern Santa Barbara County Sunday night into Monday.
Widespread moderate rain with pockets of heavy rain in the mountain areas of the Central Coast is anticipated at this time.
Wet and flooded roads are likely, but no debris flows at this time.
Snow levels will be dropping to 5000-5500 ft range, some even falling to 3000 ft.
Because of this, we have a Winter Storm Watch for the mountain areas of Santa Barbara County extended into Tuesday morning.
