The weekend outlook calls for mostly sunny skies Saturday, increasing clouds Sunday, and scattered showers through Labor Day. Temperatures will hold steady in the mid- to upper-80s, with overnight lows in the mid-60s. Outdoor activities may be affected by intermittent showers, though heavy rainfall is unlikely.

Locally, Pasadena’s parks, trails, and outdoor venues may see damp conditions Sunday and Monday. Residents are advised to monitor forecasts for updates, especially with tropical moisture influencing the region.

Looking ahead, the extended forecast through Tuesday keeps highs near 87 with slight chances of showers each day. Conditions remain unsettled but manageable, with no major weather hazards expected.
