Thursday maybe a relatively dry day after a wet Wednesday, but don't get used to it, Los Angeles. More rain is coming Friday and could stick around until Sunday.After Wednesday, which brought about 0.4 inches of rain as recorded at the USC Campus in Los Angeles, the next best chance for "significant rainfall" is Friday and early Saturday, "with rain possibly lingering into Sunday," according to the National Weather Service."Currently, our best estimates are for a widespread 1 to 3 inch rain event for the area, depending on location," the NWS said.KTLA's Henry DiCarlo said that Saturday will see scattered showers, and while Sunday will "for the most part be a drying-out day," there will be "another little wave [of precipitation] that comes in Sunday evening." Snow is expected to remain at high elevations, likely 7,500 to 9,000 feet, but "as the rain continues through the week, cannot rule out some minor flooding issues," NWS officials added.

MLB owners clear path for A's to leave Oakland for Vegas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:48:25 GMT

Las Vegas is about to get its second sports team from Oakland.On Thursday, ESPN reported that Major League Baseball owners approved a plan to move the Oakland Athletics to Vegas, following in the footsteps of the now-Las Vegas Raiders.The relocation "comes after more than two decades of failed efforts to secure a new stadium in the city to replace the aging Oakland Coliseum," ESPN's Jeff Passan reports.Passan noted that the move isn't finalized, as the state's promise to provide $380 million for the construction of a new $1.5 billion stadium on the Strip faces legal challenges from a teachers union.The stadium itself is also an issue, as current plans don't include a dome or retractable roof to keep out the summer heat.Further complicating matters, that stadium isn't expected to open until 2028, The Athletic reports."Where the A’s will play for the 2025-27 seasons is not yet clear," the outlet added.Despite these concerns, MLB owners gave the move unanimous support.

Kevin Hart will receive the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in comedy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:48:25 GMT

Comedian Kevin Hart has been chosen to receive the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for lifetime achievement in American humor, capping a three-decade career that has seen him rise from the open mics of Philadelphia to become one of his generation's most successful performers.Hart, 44, launched his career as a teenager performing at venues such as The Laff House in his native Philadelphia under the name of Lil Kev. He recalled his early stand-up performances as a string of brutal failures that included being booed off the stage multiple times and at one point, he claimed, having a piece of chicken thrown at him on stage. Gradually, Hart honed a signature style that combined his diminutive stature, expressive face and motormouth delivery and made him a wildly successful touring act. He made his movie debut in the 2002 film “Paper Soldiers” and came to mainstream fame through a string of scene-stealing cameos in mega-hits such as 2005's “The 40-Year-Old-Virgin.”Hart has gone on to be...
