SPRINGTOWN ISD UPDATE
Weโve received a few questions regarding potential winter weather later this week. The current forecast from the National Weather Service is for 1-4 inches of snowfall accumulation from the Metroplex north and west, with lighter amounts expected in Central Texas. There is also a 30% chance for accumulations to exceed 6 inches in areas west and northwest of the Metroplex.
We will continue to receive updates from the National Weather Service and will share any important information as soon as possible.
