Santa Barbara canceled the last storm-related evacuation warnings in the city on Wednesday as the region started to dry out.

Areas near Mission Creek and Sycamore Creek were the last communities to have active evacuation warnings for this storm, with other areas canceled on Monday or Tuesday as the storm passed.

Additional downpours hit Santa Barbara early Wednesday morning, dropping about another half inch of rain.

This week’s storm dropped 5.6 inches of rain on downtown Santa Barbara over several days. The city has recorded 14.5 inches of rain in 2024 which is almost twice as much as it usually has by this time of year.

Some roadways are still closed due to flooding or storm damage, including Sycamore Canyon Road (Highway 144) between Salinas Road and Highway 192 on the east side of the city.

The Santa Barbara Airport reopened early Tuesday after closing for flooding and debris on the runways.

“A huge thanks is in order to the entire SBA team for working around the clock the last few days!” airport officials wrote in a social media post on Wednesday.

“It’s been an incredible team effort throughout not one, but two extreme storms this month. Thank you for all your work to get SBA back up & running as quickly & as safely as possible!”

This is the third time in 14 months the airport has flooded badly enough to cause closures — first in January 2023, then twice this month in back-to-back major rain storms.

City officials reminded residents Wednesday that some roads and hiking trails may be washed out after the storm.

There is a lingering risk of landslides and mudslides since the ground is so saturated from heavy rainfall, according to emergency management staff at the county.

Creeks and waterways may still have fast flows, and local beaches have significant debris from the storms and high tides, the city said.

“Hikers and walkers are advised to avoid local trails due to saturated and unstable soils. Wet trails are also more susceptible to erosion and damage caused by shoes, hooves, and bike tires,” the city said. Residents can report hazardous conditions to the city at 805.564.5433.

The weather forecast looks mostly sunny through the weekend, with another chance of rain returning early next week, according to the National Weather Service.
