Heat Wave Winds Down as Storm Moves in, Bringing Pasadena Rain, Thunder

Predicted bad weather prompts postponement of grand opening of Pasadena's Playhouse Village Park

Pasadena’s weeklong heat wave is finally waning now that Tropical Storm Kay has covered Los Angeles County with clouds and rain, raising fears of possible flooding in mountain areas.

Saturday’s forecast includes a 70 percent chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm after noon, the National Weather Service predicts. The day will be cloudy, with a high near 86. Saturday night there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. 

“Moisture from Kay will move into the area today (Friday) and linger through Saturday,” according to the NWS. “Showers and thunderstorms with periods of heavy rain at times will increase the risk of flooding, especially in the mountains. The heaviest rain is expected to occur late (Friday) through Saturday evening.”

Forecasters said the rain could lead to excessive runoff resulting in “flooding of rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.”

Kay had been categorized as a hurricane, but it weakened as it made landfall Thursday night, then began shifting to the northwest over the ocean. But Kay was still packing a punch, promising to bring widespread rain across the region.

“Rainfall amounts should generally range between a quarter to half inch for the coast, a third to two-thirds of an inch for the valleys, and a half to one-and-one-half for the mountains,” according to the NWS.

Here is the full forecast from the NWS:
