Mooresville Schools Make Weather Decision For Class Wednesday

MOORESVILLE, NC -- Overnight winter weather means school is cancelled for all Mooresville Graded School District schools Wednesday, according to officials.

MGSD officials made the call early Jan. 17: “Due to the inclement weather we are experiencing and the resulting adverse road conditions in areas throughout our district, we have made the decision for the safety of our students and staff to cancel school Wednesday, January 17, 2018,” school officials said Wednesday morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory will go into effect for the Charlotte and Lake Norman regions at 10 p.m. Jan. 16 when a fast moving front is expected to descend on the region, and will be in effect through noon Wednesday, the National Weather Service said Tuesday.

The winter weather is expected to produce up to 2-inches of snow along Interstate 77 and will likely snarl Wednesday morning commutes, forecasters said.

"Temperatures will fall off quickly as the front passes," and precipitation will likely begin as rain, later changing to light snow, NWS said. "Although the amount of snow will be light, generally on the order of 1-2 inches over the mountains and the I-77 corridor, and an inch or less elsewhere, the cold temperatures may allow the snow to stick to untreated roads, resulting in numerous travel problems on untreated roads early Wednesday, including the morning rush hour."

The snow should end by midday Wednesday, according to NWS.
