**Coastal Virginia Schools Announce Delays and Closures Amid Storm Threat**
Residents across Hampton Roads are waking up to school closures and delays due to a storm moving through the region. WAVY 10, a local news station in Virginia, has been closely monitoring the situation. Their live updates on these disruptions have made “wavy 10” a trending search topic on Google.
Heavy rains and strong winds began late Monday night. By early Tuesday morning, school districts across southeastern Virginia had issued official announcements about changing schedules. Areas affected include Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Newport News.
Flooding and unsafe road conditions are the main reasons for the closures and late openings. Some districts have chosen to close fully, while others are operating on a two-hour delay. Parents are being urged to check their local school district websites or tune in to WAVY 10 for updated alerts.
The National Weather Service has issued flash flood warnings across several parts of the region. Drivers are being advised to avoid flooded roads and take extra caution if travel is necessary. In addition to school changes, some city services may also be delayed or modified for the day.
WAVY 10’s online closings list has been shared widely on social media, with users thanking the station for real-time updates. As of Tuesday morning, dozens of schools, childcare centers, and government offices were listed as closed or delayed.
The storm is expected to clear by late Tuesday, though more rain may follow later in the week. Local officials continue to monitor water levels and storm drains to prevent further flooding. Power companies are also on standby in case of outages caused by downed trees and power lines.
Emergency responders are reminding everyone to stay indoors if possible and report any flooding or damage. WAVY 10 will continue to provide live coverage and updates throughout the day on TV, their app, and social media pages.
Parents and workers in Hampton Roads are urged to plan accordingly and stay connected to reliable news sources for updates.
