Rain at the Oscars? Showers set to move through Southern California on Sunday

Hopefully the stars bring their umbrellas to Hollywood, because things could get wet around the red carpet on Oscars Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service, some shower activity began overnight on the central coast and into Ventura County, and it was set to move south.

“[We’re seeing an] ominous-looking sky, so again, just know that showers are in the forecast for us today. Light though,” said KTLA meteorologist Kacey Montoya. “Light in nature.”

The NWS predicted that rain would mainly hit the Los Angeles area before 10 a.m., giving Academy Awards attendees a sigh of relief. Some scattered showers remain possible, however, but rain totals in L.A. are expected to remain under one-tenth of an inch.

That precipitation will keep moving south throughout Sunday. Most inland communities, including Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, will receive about one-tenth of an inch of rain as well.

Meanwhile, for those higher than about 3,500 feet, snow should be expected on Sunday alongside cold temperatures.
