From the Cobb County School District:
“All Cobb schools and administrative offices will return to a normal schedule on Wednesday, January 17th.
According to the National Weather Service, tomorrow will be extremely cold, and the wind chill temperatures could be a shock to you and your children. Please be sure your children are dressed appropriately, especially if they will be waiting at bus stops. As you know, the Here Comes the Bus app allows you to track your student’s bus in real-time, so your student can remain indoors until the bus draws near. If you or your student will be driving, please continue using caution on the roads.
Our Team looks forward to seeing your children in school on Wednesday!”
About the weather:
The National Weather Service in Atlanta has issued a wind chill advisory from 5 p.m. Tuesday to 10 a.m. Wednesday for Cobb and much of North Georgia.
Temperatures are expected to reach into the low teens overnight Tuesday, but wind chill factors could make conditions feel near zero or a few degrees below during that advisory period.
Those conditions could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken when moving about outdoors.
Wednesday’s forecast calls for sunny skies and highs in the mid 30s, with lows reaching around 20.
Winds are expected to die down during Wednesday, and on Thursday, highs will be in the high 40s and lows around 35, with an 80 percent chance of rain expected.
Friday will be sunny with highs in the low 40s, with temperatures much colder again over the weekend.
Saturday’s high is not expected to be higher than 30, with lows around 15.
Sunday will be a bit warmer, with highs around 40 and lows around 25.
