Weather forecast from Jack Martin of Action Roofing: “It will be dry for most of the weekend. On Sunday, the storm system starts to pull closer and clouds will approach. Rain in Santa Barbara should start off light in the evening, but don’t be fooled: this is a February storm in April. Rain will become heavy around midnight. Mountains of Santa Barbara will see two to three inches, Montecito should see a good two inches, and everyone will see at least an inch of rain. The rain will turn to showers by noon on Monday, but expect rain most of the day, on and off at times, and afternoon showers could happen Tuesday and especially Wednesday. Thursday, we return to drier weather.” Email [email protected] to sign up for daily updates.
