FINAL Prediction for Monday, February 11, and Second Prediction for Tuesday, February 12, 2019

Good evening everyone. Attached is the FINAL Prediction for Monday, February 11 and the Second Prediction for Tuesday, February 12, 2019.

Generally speaking, I do not look like going 50/50 because it comes across as being indecisive, but I think Monday’s situation warrants it. I suspect Monroe County districts will be on the edge between schools that do and do not delay. Forecasts have trended slightly snowier, now calling for around half to one inch, but I am skeptical due to dry air in place. I do anticipate morning decisions rather than the night before.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch in effect from 12 AM Tuesday until 1 AM Wednesday. Based on all forecasts that I am seeing, I think 3 to 7 inches of snow with up to a quarter inch of ice is a reasonable expectation. The timing remains highly unfavorable for schools on Tuesday; consequently, the closing odds have increased.

I plan on issuing the Final Prediction for Tuesday and Second Prediction for Wednesday tomorrow afternoon. Have a great evening everyone and thank you for the support!
