Spring Storm Eases on California’s Central Coast

Forecasters expect a quick warmup through Friday with only light weekend showers possible.

Overview

  • A weakening spring storm produced scattered showers, brief heavy bursts, gusts near 40 mph, lightning, and short-lived marine warnings along the coast.
  • Winds have eased below advisory levels, though forecasters flagged possible advisories for southern Santa Barbara County.
  • High pressure is set to lift temperatures into the upper 60s and 70s, with the warmest readings in inland valleys.
  • A weak weekend system could bring light showers and gusty west winds Saturday evening, with most areas seeing a tenth of an inch or less.
  • Orographic lift could nudge higher totals in the Santa Lucia and Santa Ynez ranges, so nearby roads may turn slick during any quick downpours.
