Good Friday morning, 

This morning in Santa Barbara changes are in the air with dampness and fog to start the day. Santa Barbara is warmer this morning because of the marine layer, but Santa Ynez is a chilly 36 degrees.

Today will be the last day of dryness for the extended forecast. Models appear to be aligned with wet weather through the period. 

Rain will start up over night and totals have increased slightly for the first system. SLO and SB are looking at 1/3 to 3/4 tonight and Saturday. 

Saturday night and Sunday we will see a break, before the next wave arrives Sunday night through Tuesday now. Trends are increasing the rain totals through the period to last longer and increase the total to 1.5 inches and some areas in the hills could see up to 3 inches. 

It looks like rain will persist through Tuesday then only a slight chance Wednesday and on thanksgiving day. For the most part it will be dry. 

It does appear we will see lots of Action and the first larger rainfall Sunday night into Tuesday. 

Action will have teams in place in case we you need help during the upcoming rains. 

Stay dry, enjoy the rain and turn off the sprinklers, you will not need them for awhile.
