More Heat, Elevated Fire Danger in Pasadena Friday, Followed by Weekend Cooling

More unseasonably warm weather is in the forecast for the Los Angeles region Friday — with temperatures expected to reach 92 in Pasadena and elevated fire danger to grip the area through Saturday, the National Weather Service said.

But the high temperatures are expected to ease over the weekend after a two-day stay in the Southland.

The NWS said humidity levels will range between 8 and 15 percent Friday, with north-northeast wind gusts of 35 mph — creating an increased potential for brush fires, especially for mountain areas and wind-prone valleys.

Friday will produce the second straight day of higher-than-normal temperatures.

But by Saturday, the temperatures are expected to range between the 70s and 80s in most areas.

Then more high temperatures are expected to return.

“A developing trough over the Great Basin will further increase the onshore flow and a build the marine layer this weekend for more widespread and noticeable cooling, along with night and morning low clouds and patchy fog,” the weather service said.

“Westerly winds will become strong and gusty over the mountains and deserts by late Saturday and continue through Sunday. A warming trend will begin on Monday and continue much of the coming week as high pressure rebuilds over the Southwest.”
