The heat wave that’s been impacting the Tri-Counties will finally ease, but the chance of some thunderstorms is still in the forecast.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Lorena continue the chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday for the Ventura and Los Angeles County mountains. However, most remaining moisture is expected to track east of the Tri-Counties.
The high pressure that caused the heat wave is also breaking down, with a gradual cooling trend starting Thursday.
A Public Safety Power Shutoff warning for parts of southern Santa Barbara County has been lifted. At its peak, about 1,700 Southern California Edison customers in the San Marcos Pass area and the Gaviota Coast had been notified they could be impacted by potential shutoffs to prevent brush fires.
