Rain Moves In Just Ahead of the Holidays

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Light rain moved through Yuma today, giving residents a reminder that even gentle showers can change holiday plans.

Locals say the rain has them taking extra steps around their homes to make sure water doesn’t get inside. Jackets and umbrellas are coming out before heading to dinner, shopping, or other holiday activities.

“We’re thinking about going caroling, so I don’t know if it starts raining really hard,” said Harley Coleman. “We might not, but hopefully it doesn’t rain too hard because caroling is super fun.”

Another resident, Suzanne Sibilly, said, “Because everything’s flat here, you have to put some rocks in all the little gullies and make sure they don’t go into the house anywhere. Things like that. Maybe a jacket when I go out for dinner tonight.”

Officials remind drivers to take it slow on the roads and give themselves extra time, especially with holiday plans underway.
