A weak storm brought light rain to Los Angeles, coinciding with the 97th Academy Awards. Meteorologist Joe Sirard noted minimal rain totals but warned of possible thunderstorms and gusty winds, reaching up to 55 mph. As winter temperatures remained high, California's snowpack was only 85% of the average. More precipitation is forecasted for the upcoming week, prompting concerns about travel difficulties and the potential for snow in local mountains. This weather shift comes as California faces a warm winter, increasing wildfires risk despite the light rain.
"There could be some travel difficulties," Sirard said.
"The wet, chilly weather is arriving just as celebrities gather for the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday afternoon at the Dolby Theatre."
"The service said there is very low risk for debris flow, and the snow level will range between 3,500 and 5,000 feet."
"The new storms come as California has experienced a noticeably warm winter."
