The CHP is continuing to monitor the storm, with officials saying if it looks like there will be flooding between Santa Barbara and Carpinteria, they will close Highway 101.

CHP Captain Cindy Ponce says if they decide there is a threat to drivers, they will close it immediately.

Highway 101 was closed for nearly two weeks following the 1/9 debris flow in Montecito.
