Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools will be closed on Monday, March 16, due to forecasted hazardous weather conditions.
“Monday’s weather forecast calls for the moderate risk of severe storms, including the possibility of widespread damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes in the late morning through early evening,” the release read. “Even if we decided to open schools and dismiss early, the timing would potentially put students and staff in harm’s way, and that’s a risk we’ve decided not to take.”
The release also said Monday will not be a remote learning day for students, but will act as an optional remote teacher work day for staff.
“According to the National Weather Service, our area is at a Risk Level 4 (out of a maximum of 5),” the release continued. “The area has been at that high of a level only one other time, back in 2021.”
A briefing from the National Weather Service’s Raleigh office went into more detail on the timing and location of Monday’s weather.
“A strong cold front will sweep across the region Monday,” the briefing said. “Widespread thunderstorms are expected. Although a few strong to severe thunderstorms could develop during the morning hours, the primary and greatest thunderstorm threats are expected during the afternoon into the early evening hours, with that timing trending earlier west and later east.”
Afterschool activities and athletics have been either cancelled or postponed, including the scheduled “Our Schools, Our Future: Community Conversations” session.
