A winter storm is headed for the Central and South Coast, one which could mean some of the coldest temperatures of the year.
The storm is expected to bring light rainfall to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties stating Tuesday morning. But, the heaviest rainfall will be in the afternoon and evening hours. No issues are expected in the region’s brush fire burn zones, with rainfall totals of a quarter of an inch or less.
The jet stream could push the heaviest rainfall south of us, into the Los Angeles County area.
Snow and ice could be an issue in some upper elevations. With the snow level dropping to around 3000 feet, we could see snowfall on San Marcos Pass, parts of Highway 33, and even in the Cuyama Valley. The storm isn’t expected to stick around long, with clearing late Wednesday.
