SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - A tsunami watch was issued at 5:19pm for our local coastlines then it was upgraded at 6:27pm to a tsunami advisory. Click here for the latest information.

Warm weather continues Wednesday in the high 70s with afternoon clearing and 60 degree evening temperatures for La Fiesta Pequeña.

At the Old Mission, temperatures will warm up into the 70s after 11am and will cool to a mild 68 degrees by showtime at 8pm, and remain in the 60s until the end of the show around 10pm. Winds during this time will be very mild, though late night clouds are likely to return from the south coast.

The Central Coast is between cool air from the northwest and heat from the southeast - keeping us very pleasant and summer-like for Old Spanish Days.

Clouds will return to the coast by Wednesday morning but not make it very far into the valleys, and most beach cities will clear by noon.

A wind advisory is in effect 6pm Tuesday night until 3am with 30 mph winds and 45 mph gusts possible.

There are early chances for another warmup late next week when the northwest low is expected to weaken allowing for heat to expand west.
