Pennsbury Cancels After-School Activities For Storm

FALLSINGTON, PA —The Pennsbury School District is canceling after-school activities due to the potential of heavy rainfall and high winds from a storm starting Tuesday.

Schools Superintendent Thomas A. Smith sent an email to the Pennsbury school community that due to the possibility of hazardous road conditions Tuesday night, all after-school activities are canceled.

"We will be monitoring the impact of this storm during the overnight hours," Smith said. "Please be prepared for a possible change to our regular schedule in the event of widespread closures or outages. There will only be communication if there is a change to our regular schedule."

At this time, Smith said the KidsCare program will remain open as scheduled. They will contact parents directly with specific details regarding any changes to their schedule.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly said that the region could receive up to 4 inches of rain with the heaviest rainfall expected between 6 p.m. Tuesday and 2 a.m. Wednesday.

After this past weekend's storm, the National Weather Service said that saturated ground will make rivers and creeks run higher with Tuesday's rainfall, thus causing flooding throughout the region.

Meanwhile, there is a wind advisory for inland areas with winds forecast up to 65 mph in some areas, the weather service said.
