Clouds build up over the Pajaro Valley recently. A new weather system will most likely bring showers and a possibility of thunderstorms starting Monday. Roger Gass of the National Weather Service of Monterey, said, “We are expecting to get showers Monday and a possibility of thunderstorms Tuesday. The upper level low is dropping in out of Gulf of Alaska.”
Gass said that while high winds are not expected, rain could be heavy at times. He said the Pajaro Valley could get from 1/2 to 1-inch of rain and 1-3 inches in north Santa Cruz County, the heaviest in the mountains.
“This rainfall could bring minor flooding in urban areas that could interrupt the morning and evening commutes Monday and into Tuesday. Showers are expected to taper late Tuesday and into Wednesday.
