Cold Weather Alert

The year will end with a cold snap from a winter storm expected to bring wind, snow and possibly  record low temperatures during the annual Rose Parade.
The cold storm moving out of Canada will drop snow Tuesday evening in the Antelope Valley and at low elevations in the San Gabriel Mountains. Snow levels are expected to start at 4,000 feet as winds pick up in to the afternoon.

The heaviest accumulation — between 2 and 4 inches — will be over the north-facing slopes of the eastern San Gabriel Mountains east of Los Angeles. Snowfall will taper off Wednesday morning before a cold but dry New Year’s Day on Thursday.
 
“Tomorrow, into Thursday, that’s the coldest air of the season,” said NBC4 forecaster Crystal Egger. “Clouds will be building through (Tuesday). We’ll eventually see some light isolated rain and snow for the mountains.”
 
Participants and spectators at the New Year’s Day Rose Parade will face possible record low temperatures in Pasadena. The record low for the San Gabriel Valley community is 32 degrees, set in 1952. The average high temperature for Jan. 1 is 47.
 
The parade has never been canceled due to a storm, but a 1934 storm brought more than 6 inches of rain to Pasadena on New Year’s Day and caused flooding in foothills.
