There's a lot of wind. High winds are the most powerful and could hurt someone

I heard the buses won't start due to high winds or they could tip over.

Likelihood of school closing?

STRONG WINDS MAY DOWN TREES, POWERLINES, AND CAUSE
MINOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES ARE EXPECTED.
DRIVING HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES IN THESE CONDITIONS WILL BE
DIFFICULT.

We will make a determination tomorrow morning at 4:00 AM. At that time, we will consult with FCPS meteorologists and senior administration officials to make the final decision.

High winds can topple trees, powerlines and other tall objects and could possibly hurt students and buses.

snowflakes in charge of schools are torn...they like snowflake indoctrination but that conflicts with their fear of uncontrolled knowledge or truth that might sneak through the programming and nip their snowflakes in the bud

Thank you for your concerns regarding our meteorological staff. We keep a staff of three certified meteorologists to help us make determinations on school delays and closings ahead of time. We try to avoid situations where our students and faculty go to our facilities and then have to return home in inclement weather.

I think you guys have done a perfect job of keeping us safe. As a student, I'm very concerned about the high winds affecting high profile vehicles like school buses and student drivers with SUV's. Cancellation of school sounds like the best decision here.

Thank you for the kind words. We strive to keep our students and faculty safe at all times. Our meteorological staff is a key part of this. Let's not forget the hard work of FCPS geologists who also work to make sure the grounds that our facilities are built upon are safe.

So is the decision going to be made at approximately 4am or is there any chance of it being made tonight?

There will be a mandatory program in every gymnasium in every school. Snowflakes will be identified and beaten. COMPLIANCE will be achieved!

Or cause high winds could knock over trees, buses, cars, and power lines, killings students.

There's also the chance of the power going out in the actual schools.

The decision will be made at or around 4:00 AM after our team of meteorologists can confer and brief senior administrators. We will broadcast on all local news channels and social media. And channel 21 if you are a cable subscriber.

I'm on TV tonight and will be up late. Also, I'm staying home due to predator principals. I'm scared.
