Meteorologists are calling for a brief respite from rain today but
suggest keeping the umbrellas and galoshes handy for about another
week.
"Today will be our driest day," said Curt Kaplan, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service.
Forecasters are calling for partly cloudy skies and highs in the
upper 50s to mid-60s today, with rain returning by Thursday
afternoon. Intermittent showers are expected to last until Tuesday.
The rain is wreaking havoc on the hillsides charred in a Sept. 9
fire in Brand Park. The roads are impassable beyond the intersection
of the Brand Lateral Fire Road and the Brand Motorway, where Pomeroy
Creek has flooded, Glendale Urban Fire Forester Doug Nickles said.
City officials say they can do nothing to prevent further erosion
until the rains stop.
