A brief but intense storm is expected to bring showers and strong winds to San Diego County on Tuesday, forecasters said Sunday.

“A low pressure system moving southward along the West Coast will bring stronger onshore winds Monday into Tuesday night, along with showers from the coast to the mountains Monday night into Tuesday night,” the National Weather Service predicted in a forecast discussion.

The system is also expected to bring in colder air, chances of showers and some of the first high-elevation snow of the season on Monday night.

“Snow levels will remain generally above 7000 feet with minor accumulations above resort levels,” the NWS said. “Big Bear Lake may see a dusting.”

By late Monday, gusty weather is expected for the mountains and deserts, with winds between 30 to 40 mph
