Thanksgiving Day weather outlook for Southern California

As drizzle and light rain blankets much of Southern California into Tuesday evening, Angelenos can expect dryer weather and warmer temps on Thanksgiving and into the weekend, the National Weather Service reported.  

With the storm winding down, weather officials said rain and drizzle rates were below a tenth of an inch per hour across the L.A. basin and into the mountains, where rainfall amounts were under 0.05 inches.  

While a few showers may linger near the Grapevine tomorrow morning, Wednesday is expected to be dry across L.A. County with a slow warming trend beginning Thanksgiving Day, NWS said.

Highs in the low 70s are forecast as early as Wednesday with an added degree of warming each day through next week.  

Residents in the valleys may see temps rise as high as 80 degrees by Monday.

Drake's lawyers again claim bots, payola helped Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' top the charts

Drake's lawyers again claim bots, payola helped Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' top the charts

Despite widespread mockery, Drake appears to be serious in his claims that Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” received help from payola and bots on its way to being a No. 1 hit.

The Canadian rapper’s attorneys have filed a second petition alleging that Universal Music Group paid for the diss track to be successful, only this time, it was iHeartRadio, not Spotify, that allegedly joined in on the scheme, Forbes reports. While the first filing was made in New York, this second claim was filed in Texas.

The rappers born Aubrey Drake Graham and Kendrick Lamar Duckworth attacked each other in a series of songs earlier this year, with “Not Like Us” serving as the knockout blow in Lamar’s victory in the eyes of many.

Instead of accepting a loss and moving on, Drake has instead alleged UMG actively worked to slander one of their artists at the expense of another, as both rappers have their music distributed by the company. UMG has denied the claims.

“The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue,” the record label said in a statement. “No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”

Lamar has not publicly responded to the claims, though he’s traditionally used his songs to make his case, including on Friday’s surprise album “GNX,” where he claimed he “just strangled me a GOAT,” the “greatest of all time” title that Drake frequently claimed.

Hip-hop fans on the internet, however, did not wait to get their jokes off.

Twitter personality Dragonfly Jonez said he’d “never seen a bigger L in rap history” and pointed out that this lawsuit attacks streaming numbers, but not Lamar’s claims that Drake is a “certified pedophile” whose friends are also sexual predators.

“You are being called a pedophile who hangs with and harbors other pedophiles in his own home and even has these pedophiles on your payroll on the biggest rap single of the year,” Jones wrote, with an imaginary Drake responding, “Excuse me?!?! Biggest rap single of the year?????? We’ll see about that!”

New York Times opinion writer Jane Coaston also weighed in, paraphrasing one of Lamar’s more prominent lines on “Not Like Us” when supporting the logic of UMG’s claims.

“The audience ain’t dumb, Drake,” she tweeted.
