Pasadena will experience a slight weekend warm-up before settling into cooler-than-normal temperatures next week, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters said Friday that highs will climb from the mid-70s to near 80 degrees by Sunday, with mostly sunny skies and light winds expected throughout the region. The pattern marks a mild start to October, with little day-to-day variation.
Today’s forecast includes patchy morning fog, clearing skies, and a high near 75. Winds will shift from southeast to southwest at 5 to 10 mph, with gusts up to 15 mph. Tonight will be mostly clear, with lows around 53 and light northerly breezes.
Saturday and Sunday will bring sunny conditions and slightly warmer temperatures. Saturday’s high is expected to reach 78, followed by 79 on Sunday. Winds will remain light, shifting from east-northeast in the morning to southwest in the afternoon. Overnight lows will stay in the mid-50s.
No measurable precipitation is forecast for Pasadena through early next week.
The weekend outlook is favorable for outdoor activities, with mild temperatures and clear skies. Fog may return late Sunday night but is expected to clear by mid-morning Monday.
Forecasters expect highs to remain in the mid to upper 70s through Thursday, peaking near 80 on Wednesday and Thursday. Lows will stay steady in the mid-50s.
The National Weather Service is monitoring a potential shift late next week, as tropical moisture from off the Baja coast may interact with a colder trough approaching California. Confidence in the timing and impact remains low.
Pasadena residents can expect a comfortable start to October, with sunny skies and light winds prevailing. Any significant changes in the weather pattern are likely to emerge toward the end of next week.
