USC Monitoring Inclement Weather on Tuesday, January 09, 2024
01/09/2024 5:14 pm
In consultation with state and county emergency officials, the University of South Carolina is tracking inclement weather expected to impact the Midlands on Tuesday. While it is too soon to know the storm’s impact, we do not anticipate a campus closure. The current forecast calls for heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts in the Columbia area, beginning around noon on Tuesday and lasting through Tuesday evening. As a state agency, any potential closures are based on decisions by Richland County government offices; not local K-12 school districts. Please know that even in the rare instances of weather-related closures, normal campus services are available to students, including dining, health services and access to virtual academic support services and recreational facilities. Instructors and supervisors are urged to be flexible regarding attendance for students and employees traveling during inclement weather and those with childcare needs. If conditions or the forecast should worsen, we will adjust our plans accordingly and will keep you informed. In the meantime, please be sure to monitor sc.edu/weather, USC's social media at https://twitter.com/uofsc, and the Carolina Alert webpage at https://sc.edu/carolinaalert for any updates.
