Cities higher up in the mountains like Idyllwild and Big Bear Lake were projected to get around on-half an inch of rain.
Any rain likely would be cleared up by Friday morning, making way for high temperatures in the low to high 60s throughout the region on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, according to forecasters. Winds from 15 to 25 miles per hour were also expected.
