Partly cloudy Thursday, rain chances

Partly cloudy skies and cool temperatures continue Thursday.

Temperatures will be below normal by about 3 to 6 degrees across the region.

I'm tracking low to mid 60s for the warmest part of our day across the coast and valleys of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties.

Rain chances are highest for Ventura County on Thursday, only expecting drizzle or brief light rain under 1/10th of an inch, with misting expected in Santa Barbara County, and possible but less likely in San Luis Obispo County.

Friday our rain chances are lowering as a northeast system is keeping distance from our region.

High pressure, warmer temperatures and clearing arrives this holiday weekend.

No rain is expected anywhere locally on Easter and into the beginning of next week.
