Some wet weather is in store for Santa Barbara County over the next week, with the first round of rainfall on Thursday and the second early next week, according to the National Weather Service.

The weather system that will move through the region Wednesday night through Thursday is expected to drop a 1/4-inch to a 1/2-inch of rain at lower elevations, and up to 3/4 of an inch in the mountains, David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, told Noozhawk.

The chance of rain is pegged at 60% Wednesday night, rising to 70% on Thursday.

It will be a colder system, with the snow level dropping to about 6,000 feet, he added.

Sunny skies should prevail Friday through the weekend, with a stronger storm expected to hit the area from Monday afternoon into Tuesday night, Sweet said.

That storm is likely to deliver about an inch of rain at lower elevations, he said, with 2 inches or more in the mountains.

The current forecast does not call for any flood warnings in the Alisal Fire burn area, Sweet said, but that could change closer to the event.

Daytime highs through the period should be in the mid-50s, with overnight lows around 40.
