Rainy Tuesday, clearing Wednesday

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Rain begins very early Tuesday morning for areas north of Gaviota, then travels to south county and Ventura County between late morning and early afternoon.

Rainfall rates are expected to remain below a quarter inch per hour though there is a light chance of thunderstorms and gusty west winds.

Temperatures will be in the 60s and light sprinkles may linger into Tuesday evening but most of the rain will fall locally before 4pm.

We clear out from the storm and get some slight warming Wednesday with gusty leftover northwest winds.

We will warm up further on Thursday before weekend cooling and slight inland rain chances on Saturday, 20 percent chance or less.
