The National Weather Service is predicting a mild and dry start to Monday, with coastal areas experiencing night-to-morning low clouds and fog. However, a weak weather system moving in will bring cooler temperatures and light rain, particularly to Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Rainfall is expected to remain light, generally under 0.25 inches.
Breezy north winds are already developing in the western Santa Ynez range, with gusts reaching 25 to 35 mph. These winds, though strong, are not expected to reach advisory levels. A light dusting of snow is possible in the Ventura County Mountains on Tuesday morning, with snow levels well above pass levels. As the weather system moves through, conditions will improve later in the week, but expect another system to impact the region by Friday.
