Rain fell on the parade of movie stars who arrived at the Oscars Sunday night. As weather forecasts predicted, there were slight showers in the Los Angeles area.
A drizzly start to the day foreshadowed cloud cover throughout the Southland, according to NBC4 meteorologist Shanna Mendiola, who advised that people pack an umbrella and jacket for the day.
"Definitely looking at a good chance of some rain at the red carpet today," NBC4 meteorologist Shanna Mendiola said.
Although the organizers of the Academy Awards prepared for rain by putting up a tent over the red carpet in advance of the show, it was not enough. Rain soaked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, but the stars stayed dry, for the most part.
The rain is expected to continue overnight and through Monday, Mendiola said. Clearing is expected later Monday and into Tuesday, City News Service reported.
The movie inustry can't seem to catch a weather-related break -- rain showed up uninvited to the Golden Globes this year as well.
