Ahead of inclement weather, three school districts across the Lake Travis-Westlake area have canceled classes Jan. 21, including Eanes, Lake Travis and Leander ISDs.

The details

On Jan. 19, a winter storm warning was issued for the Central Texas area from 6 p.m. Jan. 20 through 6 p.m. Jan. 21, according to the National Weather Service. Conditions west of I-35 are expected to produce up to an inch of a mix of snow, sleet and ice, Jan. 19 information from the NWS states. The districts are already closed Jan. 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
  • Eanes ISD: All schools and child care centers are closed Jan. 21, and all athletics and co-curricular activities and rentals for the day are canceled, according to the district’s Jan. 19 email to parents.
  • Lake Travis ISD: All schools and district offices are closed Jan. 21, including after school activities and events.

What else?

A “weather watch” was issued for Jan. 20-23 by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, as previously reported by Community Impact. This indicates high electric demand and potentially lower power reserves, but grid conditions are expected to be normal during the watch period, ERCOT officials said in a news release.
