Other higher totals were along the western part of the inland valleys, with Temecula and Lake Elsinore recording 0.70". Riverside followed with 0.55", aided by a substantial shower Saturday morning.
Areas with the least rainfall were out in the San Jacinto Valley, with Hemet at 0.15" and San Jacinto measuring 0.16".

Predictions for the storm had been for between half an inch to an inch of rainfall in the inland valleys.
