Light Rain, Big Chill Predicted for Pasadena on Sunday, Monday

Two days of scattered rain and plunging temperatures are expected to move into Southern California beginning Sunday.

Precipitation amounts, however, are expected to be limited across much of the region, generally a half-inch or less, with no flooding concerns, according to the National Weather Service.

“A cold storm will move over the area Sun into Mon with mainly light rain expected,” the NWS tweeted. 

But the bigger story is the temperature drop: Pasadena could see a high of just 53 on Sunday and 54 on Monday. The nights will drop into the upper thirties.
