Dec. 14--Strong, chilly winds will roar through southwestern California on Monday as a fast-moving cold front that brought rain and snow moves out of the area.
Gusts could reach 80 mph along the Interstate 5 corridor and 55 mph in the Antelope Valley through 1 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. Blowing dust could create reduced visibility in the Antelope Valley, making for dangerous driving conditions.
Meanwhile, Sunday's storm had lingering effects on some communities.

In Lake Arrowhead, snow left roads icy and forced campus closures in the Rim of the World Unified School District. Less than an inch of rain and snow blanketed Pearblossom in about 15 minutes, the weather service said.
Earlier, a mudslide triggered by the storm forced the closure of the northbound Interstate 5 in the Grapevine for three hours.
Rain could stick around Monday as the cold storm moves through the Central Coast, keeping temperatures in the 60s.
Temperatures will warm up for the rest of the week, except for Wednesday morning, when it could be at or below freezing in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Los Angeles will stay above 40 degrees, but near freezing conditions will be felt along the Ventura County-Los Angeles County line.
Clouds and cooler weather will move in on Saturday and bring a chance of rain on Sunday.
