Frankfort Severe Storms: D157-C Cancels After-School Activities Tuesday

FRANKFORT, IL — Severe storms are possible Tuesday, brning a threat of tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds. According to the National Weather Service, a front is expected to set up along or just south of the I-80 corridor.

"The main threats are large hail and flooding for areas north of I-80," the weather service said on its Facebook. "All severe weather hazards are possible along and south of Interstate 80, including the possibility for strong tornadoes."

On its Facebook page, the weather service said a "rule of thumb" for if you're in the threat zone is "if it feels like summer" at 6 or 7 p.m. Tuesday. If it's chillier at that time, then the threat zone is south of you.

Due to the severe weather, District 157-C in Frankfort has canceled its after-school activities for Tuesday. Students from all three schools will be dismissed at their regular times, and should plan to go home immediately after school.
