The storm which had initially triggered concerns about the potential for flooding, and debris flows in brush fire burn areas in Santa Barbara County turned out to be little more than light rain for the region.
Rainfall amounts were less than a quarter of an inch throughout the region, with most areas getting less under a tenth of an inch. No evacuations were ordered.
Montecito, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara each recorded .01” of rain.
In Ventura County, Oxnard and Moorpark each had .05” of rain.
The Central Coast recorded the highest totals, with more than a tenth of an inch of rain in Santa Maria, and a quarter of an inch in some San Luis Obispo County mountains.
Another storm system expected to arrive late Thursday is expected to bring more rainfall, possibly in the neighborhood of a half inch to an inch of rain.
