After an unusually cold and wet mid-April weekend, Pasadena residents can expect a return to more normal weather this week.
Monday, temperatures will warm up by 6 to 12 degrees, although highs will still remain 4 to 8 degrees below normal for this time of year.
Overnight, the offshore flow will increase, preventing the formation of low clouds in the area. Temperatures will continue to rise on Tuesday, with most areas experiencing above-normal temperatures.
As the week progresses, onshore flow will increase, bringing a deeper marine layer and cooler temperatures to Pasadena.
By Friday, maximum temperatures will be 3 to 6 degrees below normal, and the low cloud pattern will persist through the night and morning into the weekend.
Despite long-range temperature guidance indicating some warming each day, the consistent onshore flow in the afternoons may result in little day-to-day change in temperatures near the coast.
