Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, other districts announce Wednesday snow closures
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and other area school districts announced plans for remote learning on Wednesday due to inclement weather.
Temperatures are forecast to dip slightly below freezing Tuesday night, before rising to around 36 degrees on Wednesday. The National Weather Service says light precipitation should develop after sunrise Wednesday, peak late in the morning and end in the afternoon. Most of the Charlotte metro area is expected to receive less than an inch of snow. Sleet and rain may be mixed in with snow.

“Out of an abundance of caution and due to winter weather conditions in the forecast for Wednesday, February 19 2025, all Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are shifting to remote instruction,” the release said. “There will be no extracurricular activities, facility use, or athletics. All scheduled testing will resume when we return to school.”
