The CMCSS Operations Department is closely monitoring the weather forecast for this evening and tomorrow. At this time, Montgomery County is not under any weather advisories or severe thunderstorm/tornado watches. According to the National Weather Service, our community has a slight risk tonight and an enhanced risk tomorrow for severe weather, but they are not indicating a moderate or high risk. There is no recommendation at this time to cancel, delay, or dismiss early based on the forecast. If the conditions and recommendations change, the Communications Department will immediately communicate this information to families. As always, please have a plan in place just in case. Please know all CMCSS schools have severe weather plans, designated safe areas, and required drills throughout the school year. Additionally, the CMCSS Transportation Department has protocols for severe weather, including rerouting buses to the nearest school in the event of a tornado warning during a route. In 2019, CMCSS was named a StormReady district by the National Weather Service. To receive this distinction, CMCSS: Established a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center Established more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public Created a system that monitors weather conditions locally Developed a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises
