Baltimore Schools Delay Dec. 15 Openings Due to Frigid Temperatures

Schools throughout the Baltimore area are set to experience delayed openings on December 15. This decision comes in response to dangerously low temperatures that may lead to icy and hazardous road conditions during the morning commute.

Impact of Frigid Temperatures on Baltimore Schools

The Baltimore region is bracing for extremely cold weather to start the week. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the teens and low 20s.

Risks Associated with Low Temperatures

With significant snow and slush on the roads, there is a risk that these conditions will freeze. This could result in dangerously slick driving environments.

• Bitter cold temperatures reported.
• Overnight lows expected: teens to low 20s.
• Risk of icy conditions due to frozen slush and snow.
• Wind chill may make temperatures feel like single digits.

For the safety of students and staff, the delayed school openings will provide extra time for road conditions to improve. Motorists are encouraged to drive with caution and be aware of the potential for hazardous conditions in the Baltimore area.
