Last minute shoppers in Lake Havasu City should include an umbrella in their plans because they might have to deal with some falling precipitation in the form of rain beginning early Friday, continuing through the morning.

According to Brian Planz of the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, Nev., there is not a threat of severe weather and said rainfall accumulation should be from ½ to ¾ inches.

“Rain should begin around 3 a.m. and continue through about noon on Friday,” Planz said. He added there is a chance of showers throughout the holiday weekend.
