Santa Barbara is finally getting some fall weather as temperatures cool down and some areas could see rain later this week. 

Additionally, some residents could face a public safety power shutoff Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening due to windy weather and an increased risk of wildfires.

Southern California Edison is warning that some customers in the San Marcos Pass area could face power shutoffs from noon until 9 p.m. Tuesday, which would affect more than 1,000 customers.

Check outage status here, and whether your address would be affected.

A public safety power shutoff is when Edison temporarily shuts off power in certain areas during dangerous weather conditions to prevent electric systems from possibly igniting a fire. 

The company opened a community resource center at the Residence Inn in Goleta, at 6350 Hollister Ave., until 10 p.m. so residents can recharge devices and get PSPS information.

As of Wednesday morning, no PSPS was enacted for Santa Barbara County.
