After a weekend of stormy weather in the Victor Valley, the forecast looks to be cold and mostly dry.
However, there is a possibility of rain later in the week.
On Sunday afternoon, the storm had dropped nearly 4 inches of snow in the San Bernardino Mountains, with more expected on Monday.
On Monday, snow levels were expected near 3,500 to 4,000 feet. Chain control has been issued for all vehicles in the San Bernardino Mountain communities, according to Caltrans officials.

Isolated thunderstorms are expected through Monday night, followed by a period of cold and dry weather from Tuesday through Thursday, NWS reported. Through Thursday, gusty winds with high temperatures in the low 50s and high 40s, with lows in the 20s and 30s, are expected in places like Apple Valley, Hesperia and Victorville.
Another storm system is expected to arrive Friday, with colder conditions and the potential for significant rain and mountain snow, NWS stated.
