Hays cancels school Tuesday ahead of possible icy weather. Here’s list of closures, delays
Ahead of predicted icy weather next week, the Hays school district preemptively canceled classes Tuesday.
Temperatures in the Austin area are expected to plunge to the low 20s, and to the teens in some areas, Monday night into Tuesday morning with a 56% chance of snow in the forecast, according to the National Weather Service.
Central Texas school districts are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but Hays officials on Friday decided to announce the district’s plan to close on Tuesday as well because of the weather, spokesman Tim Savoy said.
“Our district’s corporate weather service has high confidence that we will receive snow on Tuesday,” Savoy said. “Exactly how much snow is still an uncertainty, but it is anticipated to be enough to accumulate.”
District officials will continue to monitor the weather next week to determine whether students and staff members will be able to return to school Wednesday, Savoy said.
Meteorologists at the weather service are forecasting, with increasing confidence, a wintry mix of precipitation Monday night into Tuesday. They also expect wind chills in the high teens in the Austin area.
