School officials in Okaloosa County have been consulting with county emergency management about the freezing temperatures forecast to impact the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, according to a district statement.

Patrick Maddox, Okaloosa County’s public safety director, said the latest data from the National Weather Service shows temperatures will drop below freezing overnight but roads are not expected to become icy.

The school district said classes will take place as scheduled Wednesday, with students advised to wear layered clothing for warmth. Some outdoor student activities will be moved indoors due to the cold.

Morning temperatures are predicted to climb above freezing Wednesday, providing some relief from the winter chill.

The district said it will continue monitoring the weather but does not anticipate any closures or changes to operating hours at this time. Officials urge families to exercise caution during frosty conditions.
