Will be curious to see what they do. Mini-map dismisses at 330, and if Ava's futurecast radar is even close to right, we will be in the middle of some storms during that time. Yea FCPS MD sent out a refresh of inclement weather procedure last night. I suspect a normal pick up time at 2:15. May be raining may not. Parent drop off line this year has been crazy due to parents not wanting their kids on busses. If it is raining all those walkers will be added into the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wanted to get out of our under construction school before the really bad storm start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 My kid's principal follows me on twitter, when I dropped mini-map off this morning, the principal and I chatted a bit. If the county doesn't dismiss early, and we do have storms at dismissal time, she will hold all students at school until its safe. I've been asked to email her later with updates. Oh to have made a name for myself as the weather nerd 10 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The littler one woke up at about 3:00 am - I think the thunder did it. I had a look at the radar and saw that we were *just* on the eastern edge of that cell in Fairfax County, so I decided to go back to sleep. We got the light show and maybe 0.50-0.75" of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 School systems would be very wise to have an early dismissal at noon. It would be bad to potentially have to get kids home while there are active tornado warnings. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be good. My worries are that some schools will end up under tornado warnings, and they usually bring the kids to interior hallways, and that kind of crowding is not what we want during a pandemic...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several tornadoes and occasional damaging winds appear probable across parts of the Mid-Atlantic as the remnants of Ida move through the region this afternoon through this evening. Isolated strong/severe storms may also occur across portions of the northern/central Plains. ...Mid-Atlantic this afternoon into this evening... The remnants of tropical cyclone Ida will move east-northeastward from southern WV across northern VA this afternoon to NJ and the southern New England coast overnight. Mid 70s boundary-layer dewpoints are already present across the Delmarva to the south of a stalled front that will drift northward as a warm front today, and pockets of surface heating will help locally boost buoyancy during the day. Low-midlevel vertical shear will increase some today with the approach of the Ida remnants, with effective bulk shear near 40 kt and effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2. A broken band/cluster of supercells will likely form immediately in advance of the cyclone moving along the baroclinic zone by early afternoon and then spread east-northeastward toward the coast through late evening/early tonight, with the baroclinic zone demarcating the northern edge of the more substantial tornado threat. The combination of MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg and the aforementioned vertical shear will support supercells capable of producing several tornadoes and occasional damaging gusts through late evening. Low-level static stability and the exact cyclone track will determine the extent of any tornado threat tonight across Long Island and the immediate southern New England coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What happened to school starting AFTER labor day in MD? If they kept to that schedule this nonsense wouldn't happen. And schools without working AC? Yuck! Granted when we were in school none of the buildings had AC but that was back when we had to walk through a foot of snow to school both ways, uphill.

Im hopeful they early dismissal, because yeah the logistics aren't great. But I know staff will do their best given the situation. She goes to a great school, with good caring staff.

A few years ago the state legislature voted that counties can decide whats best based on the calendar instead of a blanket all counties start after labor day. It now just depends on when labor day falls on the calendar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
