Welcome back, and we hope you had a productive and enjoyable Spring Break.
You are arriving just ahead of a weather system that is forecasted to bring hazardous conditions to campus on Monday, including the possibility of tornadoes. The town of Davidson is in the area of most concern in the National Weather Service briefings that we receive. The forecast includes:
- Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and this evening.
- A second line of storms Monday morning into early afternoon pose a severe weather threat of damaging winds and possible tornadoes. Isolated, large hail also is possible.
- The storms are just ahead of a cold front that will bring lower temperatures.
Please pay attention to the weather and to weather forecasts from media outlets, and please keep your cell phone close.
You will receive a SSAFER alert in the event of an imminent threat to safety, and you will be directed to take shelter.
Thank you for looking out for each other.
