UPDATED: Birmingham Public Schools Closed Tuesday Due To Weather
This is the second straight week with at least one snow day, and 5th snow day of the month for Birmingham schools.
Students in the Birmingham Public Schools will not be in session Tuesday as temperatures are expected to dip to potentially dangerous levels.
The National Weather Service upgraded a wind chill advisory watch to a warning Monday afternoon in anticipation of a blast of Arctic air that will blanket the region for several days. District officials announced the closure shortly after 2 p.m. Monday. It is the second straight week with at least one snow day, and Tuesday will be the 5th snow day of the month.
