Rob Lewin, Director of the Santa Barbara County Emergency Operation Center states that “rain resulted in a range of a few sprinkles to .08 of an inch in higher elevations.” National Weather Service reports the expected storm system to continue to diminish throughout the day and week with little to no threat of flash flooding or debris flows at this time.
