More Wet Weather to Hit Pasadena Wednesday, Pasadena Fire Stations Offer Sand Bags

[Updated] A winter storm is expected to drench Pasadena Wednesday, with some local mountain areas potentially seeing more than a foot of snow and the rest of the region expected to see rainy conditions through Friday.

Forecasters said there could be three to six hours of steady rain starting in the early hours Wednesday, followed by “off-and-on-again showers” into Thursday, along with “a few periods of more organized bands of showers Wednesday afternoon and evening.”

Pasadena Fire Station 37, at 3430 E. Foothill Blvd., and Station 38, at 1150 Linda Vista Ave., will offer up to 10 sandbags per resident. Fire personnel will be on hand to assist with loading sand into bags if not responding to a call.

The storm system is expected to move off to the east on Thursday, although a smaller system could bring additional showers and some isolated thunderstorms on Thursday.
