Meanwhile, a cold winter storm is coming to the region, and forecasters say snow could fall as low as the 2,000-foot level on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Up to eight inches of snow may fall on the eastern San Gabriel Mountains and the San Bernardino Mountains. Rain is expected at the lower elevations.

Officials said three stretches of roads will be closed starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to KNX 1070's Jan Stevens.

The closure will last until the storm system passes and roads are inspected and cleared.

The impacted roads include the Angeles Forest Highway between Aliso Canyon Road and Angeles Crest Highway; Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road between Angeles Forest Highway and Angeles Crest Highway; and Big Tujunga Canyon Road between Vogel Flats Road and Angeles Forest Highway.
