Middle Tennessee Schools Close Amid Winter Storm Warning
Hey there, Middle Tennessee! We’re in for a wild week as a chilly winter storm sweeps through our region, and many students across the area are gearing up for a second day off school this week. Fingers crossed that everyone has stocked up on hot cocoa and marshmallows to enjoy while keeping cozy at home!
What’s Happening with the Weather?
Well, it seems like Mother Nature has decided to sprinkle some magic around us! The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning that will affect portions of our beautiful region. This exciting weather event is set to kick in starting 9 p.m. Tuesday and will be in effect until noon Wednesday for our northern counties.
For those of you living south of I-40, a winter storm advisory is already in place. In terms of snow predictions, it looks like we’re bracing for anywhere between one to three inches of fluffy stuff across much of Middle Tennessee. However, those of you located northwest might want to prepare for a bit more—up to four to six inches of snow could blanket the area!
Now, for our lovely city of Nashville, expert forecasts indicate that we can expect around two to three inches of light, powdery snow. Sounds like the perfect chance for some snowman building, right?
School Closures and Delays
With this looming winter storm, it’s no surprise that multiple school districts across Middle Tennessee have announced closures for Wednesday. Students at places like TCAT-McMinnville will have a virtual learning day from the comfort of their homes, while schools in Camden, Franklin, and Woodbury have closed their doors, too. Be sure to check that school website or call ahead to see if your district will be delayed or closed because of the expected snow!
But that’s not all! Even as we look towards Thursday, several districts have already taken precautions by announcing closures or delays due to the cold temperatures that will prevail in the aftermath of the winter storm. Safety comes first, and we love seeing our schools prioritize that.
A First Alert Weather Day
This week is certainly shaping up to be a memorable one with a First Alert Weather Day in effect not just for Wednesday but extending through Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday as well! For those out in rural Tennessee and southern Kentucky, schools remain vigilant, particularly since they might have to extend closures into Friday due to lingering snow.
As we move towards Saturday, we can expect temperatures to rise above freezing, which should help with thawing out the leftover snow and ice. So, while the snow is beautiful, it’s nice to know that warmer weather will be back before we know it!
Stay Informed!
Want to keep up-to-date on school closures and other weather-related info? Be sure to keep an eye on various news platforms for a full list of all the closures and delays. Remember, safety first, so stay warm, cozy, and enjoy this unexpected winter wonderland!
As always, let’s extend our thoughts to everyone who has to brave these wintry conditions—drive safe, and we’ll keep our fingers crossed for snowball fights ahead!
