Rain Thursday: up to 90% chance, Santa Maria Rodeo forecast

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. - Rain chances are up to 80 and 90 percent for Santa Maria and San Luis Obispo Thursday as steady showers will arrive in the morning.

Up to half an inch is possible north of Pt. Conception with much less rain expected for southern areas.

Showers are expected to linger into the afternoon and past 7pm Thursday night, not drying out until early Friday morning.

The sun will return quickly late Friday and stay for the weekend with a warmup.

Weak offshore winds may not be strong enough to clear the marine layer but high pressure will keep us summerlike into early June, upper 70s.
