GLENDORA, Calif. (KABC) -- The city of Glendora raised the flooding alert level for Colby Fire burn areas ahead of possible thunderstorms this week.

The alert level was raised to yellow from green due to a storm that could bring between half an inch to 1 inch of rain Tuesday and Wednesday.

The burn impact area includes homes north of Sierra Madre between the western city boundaries of Azusa and Glendora to the eastern boundary of homes on the west side of the Little Dalton Wash, near Loraine Avenue.

Parking restrictions are in effect and residents are asked to remove trash cans and other obstacles from the street. No evacuation orders are in effect yet.
