MONTEREY >> A low-pressure system will move through the Monterey Peninsula on Tuesday, bringing rain in the morning and a chance for thunderstorms in the early afternoon.

The National Weather Service reported rainfall and widespread winds as April begins, but mostly for the Big Sur coast.

On the Peninsula, there is expected to be a day of wind and rain, with about a 15 percent chance for thunderstorms. Meteorologists say they aren’t expecting flood advisories, but if the storm moves more toward the Peninsula there could be ponding on streets and sidewalks.

“This is one large low pressure coming through and will give us off and on chances for showers and storms,” said Brayben Murdock, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service Bay Area, headquartered in Monterey. “Earlier in the season we had some atmospheric rivers and then showers and storms followed, this is the same without the atmospheric river.”

Murdock said Monday’s winds, with gusts up to 30 MPH, were likely the peak for the Peninsula, but Tuesday will still be breezy.

The Peninsula also received scattered showers Monday and had temperatures in the mid to high 50s.

“We’ll have another round of breezier to gusty conditions in the late afternoon going into the evening, and then that will dissipate,” Murdock said. “But this will be off and on for the next few days. This weekend, we’ll really see the winds calm.”

The weather is expected to warm up and be drier on Wednesday but temperatures will move gradually up the scale until they hit the low 70s in some areas by Saturday. The pattern is a reversal from last week, when the Peninsula and region had warm, spring-like conditions early in the week before the rain arrived later in the week.
