Cooling Tuesday, warm & mild this week
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - A coastal flood advisory has been issued until 7pm Wednesday for southeast SLO County, north of Cuyama Valley, for inland thunderstorm activity coming from eastern California. Our cooling trend from the weekend heat continues Tuesday with a very modest decrease in temperatures for most areas.
Tuesday will be the coolest day of the week, low to mid 70s, before slight warming follows.
Cloudy mornings and evenings for coastal areas will be a pattern for us through midweek as onshore winds help create a more impactful marine layer. High pressure is also moving away slightly to the east helping us cooldown.
Temperatures will hover near normal for our region for the rest of the week. It will be a mostly calm and pleasant weather pattern with no big weather chances in temperatures expected through the holiday weekend, high 70s in Santa Barbara.
Tropical Storm Juliette west of Mexico could push some moisture our way & into SoCal by Friday - though it will be weakening & dissipating before that.
