A dry and cold week will follow Southern California’s wet and windy weekend that saw brief storms across the region bring rain, snow and hail in some areas.
The wild weather is expected to calm down by Monday, with potentially clear skies lasting at least through Tuesday in most areas, forecasters with the National Weather Service said. But temperatures will still be colder than normal.
That could mean freeze watches for the early part of the week. High temperatures will likely not exceed the low 60s, and low temperatures will dip into the high 30s in some areas.
“A cold air mass will settle into the area tonight as a more due-northerly flow pattern develops and pipes in colder air from the north,” meteorologists in the NWS office in Los Angeles said in their forecast discussion on Sunday.
“Frost and freeze headlines have been expanded for tonight into the Central Coast and most valley areas as temperatures will dip to near or below the freezing mark.”
Snow fell in the region’s mountain pass areas on Saturday and Sunday, with the snow level falling to around 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Weather watchers saw snow falling along the Grapevine in the middle of the afternoon Sunday.
Light snow is falling at the top of the Grapevine. Current temperature is 34 degrees. Any travellers crossing after the sun sets should be prepared for icy conditions.

And light snow and rain fell in the Cajon Pass on Saturday, leading to slippery conditions that caused a few spinouts and traffic problems. But conditions improved in the pass by the next day.
The NWS extended winter weather warnings for coastal areas and some inland areas on Sunday, as many residents saw rain showers and continued high winds.
The winter storm warnings remained in effect in the San Bernardino mountains and the eastern side of the Angeles National Forest. And high surf advisories were issued for all beach cities from Oceanside to Santa Monica.
By Monday, the winds should die down, forecasters said. The weather will remain cool and crisp throughout the week, but things will warm up a bit from the weekend.
“Sunshine returns Monday,” said Danny Gregoria, of the NWS in San Diego, in a statement. “And a sunny and cool week will prevail for the week ahead.”
Gregoria said rain could return on Friday: A storm will pass by the area but will remain mostly to the north of L.A. and San Bernardino counties. The rains from that event could still “brush the for the potential of additional showers then.
“But that is uncertain,” Gregoria said.
Saturday saw the first storm of the season, which produced strong winds and thunder for some parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties, with brief heavy downpours and hail in La Habra, Brea, north Fullerton, Rowland Heights and Diamond Bar, according to the weather service.
Bursts of strong winds and lightning also hit parts of the Inland Empire. Downed trees and damage to electrical equipment from the winds knocked out power to thousands of residents, mostly in San Bernardino, according to Southern California Edison.
By Sunday morning, there were no major power outages reported across the region.
