School Cancellation Alert for Monday, October 30

While it is unlikely we'll see widespread school closures, the High Wind Warning has our school cancellation antennae up and in alert mode.

The big concern for this storm would be downed branches and trees, which could lead to power outages. Wind gusts up to 50 MPH are possible for the Berkshires later tonight and into the early morning hours of Monday. While the NWS typically overreaches on these forecasts, we still have to take them seriously and monitor the power outage situation for Monday morning.

Students should certainly do their homework for Monday, but a few isolated cancellations are possible, especially for schools in higher elevation locales.

We'll let you know if we hear anything positive in the way of cancellations or delays.
