SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Rain chances diminish Wednesday as we dry out for the rest of the week.

Cold air and strong north winds will arrive in our region Wednesday evening through Thursday. A high wind watch has been issued inland areas during that timeframe: 25-40mph winds and 65mph gusts.

Winds will shift easterly by Friday causing warming, moderate Santa Ana winds, and sunshine into the weekend.

Rain may return at the end of the month.
