Rain? It could happen on the Central and South Coasts on and off through mid-week

KCLU
Parts of the Central and South Coasts could see thunderstorms, and locally heavy rainfall through mid-week thanks to a stalled low pressure system off the coast.

Strongest rainfall could be in Ventura and Santa Barbara County mountains.

The weather for the Central and South Coasts is going to be very interesting for at least through Wednesday, with the potential for rain. A low pressure system off the coast is setting the stage for some thunderstorms, and even scattered rainfall.

The best chance for thunderstorms is in Ventura and Santa Barbara County’s mountains. There’s a flood watch for potentially locally heavy rainfall in the mountain areas.

But, scattered rainfall could even impact inland areas of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties Tuesday night, as well as the mountains of southern San Luis Obispo County. The chance of rain is expected to clear out Thursday.
