A storm following heavy Christmas rain may cause flooding and mudslides in Southern California with showers expected during the parade and Rose Bowl game, officials warn.

  • On Jan. 1, 2025, a storm is forecast to bring rain to Pasadena, threatening the 136th Rose Parade and raising the possibility of rain during the Rose Bowl college football playoff game.
  • After Christmas week soaked the region, leaving soils saturated, another onslaught of rain is expected to push into Southern California Wednesday and linger into Thursday, Mike Wofford said.
  • Historically, rain at the Rose Parade route is rare, occurring only 10 times and not since 2006, while parade spectators should bring ponchos as umbrellas are banned in ticketed areas and float builders face breakdowns from wet conditions.
  • Fans and tailgaters should expect soggy conditions during the Alabama and Indiana game, while Pasadena city public safety and Tournament of Roses organizers warn parking may shift to neighborhoods and medical calls could increase.
  • Historically, the 1955 Rose Bowl saw a downpour turning the field to mud; the Weather Prediction Center warns of a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall Thursday near burn scars and steep terrain, with showers tapering by afternoon.
