STRONG winds and squally showers will continue into Tuesday, with more warnings of wild weather.

A deep low pressure system that has gripped the state whipped up gusty winds that peaked at more than 60km/h across parts of the Mount Lofty Ranges on Monday, felling trees.

Adelaide has avoided much of the rain — with only 0.6mm falling until 4.30pm on Monday — with higher falls of 12.8mm at Kuitpo and 7.6mm at Parndana on Kangaroo Island.

The mercury peaked at 15.6C in the city but only reached 8.2C at Mt Lofty.

Similar conditions are expected on Tuesday, with a forecast high of 15C, a 95 per cent chance of 6-15mm of rain and the chance of a thunderstorm.

Around 11pm on Monday, a severe weather warning was issued for damaging winds in the Adelaide Metropolitan, Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, Kangaroo Island, and parts of the Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Murraylands and Upper South East districts.

The weather bureau has warned wind gusts of up to 90km/h could hit locations including Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Clare, Maitland, Murray Bridge and Kingscote.
