CMS will have remote learning tomorrow due to Ian
NOON EDT Advisory: A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for the Charlotte Metro area through Saturday morning. Tropical Storm #Ian is expected to make a second landfall along the SC coast as a Hurricane on Friday. Please continue to monitor the forecast. #scwx #ncwx #gawx
Take a minute to check out storm drains near your home. Hurricane Ian could impact our area with heavy rain. Before the rain arrives is the best time to clear debris from storm drains to help avoid localized flooding.
