Additionally, the National Weather Service issued a freeze warning for the Inland Empire.

The cities of Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, Moreno Valley, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga and Corona are expected to see temperatures as low as 27 degrees until 8 a.m. Wednesday, then again from midnight to 8 a.m. Thursday.
