The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) announced that the severe weather expected Tuesday will affect in-person operations.

SCCPSS confirmed its schools will shift to online learning Tuesday. All after-school programs including 21st Century will be canceled.

SCCPSS schools will also start on a two-hour delay on Wednesday Jan. 10. A press release from the district said the delay is, “to allow time for SCCPSS maintenance staff to inspect all facilities and insure their operational status for the safety of students and staff.”

Tuesday's storms have the potential for sustained winds in the 30-40 mph range and gusts as high as 60 mph, which could lead to downed trees and power outages, the NWS Charleston office cautioned in its advisory.
