The School District of Philadelphia has announced it will operate on a normal schedule Tuesday, January 16, 2024. 

In a statement released Monday night, the district said they are "encouraging students, families, and staff to travel safely tomorrow morning, as all school programs and activities will operate on a normal schedule." 

All late arrivals due to weather-related issues recorded tomorrow will be excused for the district.  All yellow bus services will proceed as usual, although there may be delays on individual routes. All athletic events and afterschool activities will also proceed as scheduled.

The statement continued: 

Parents and guardians should plan for possible delays with the District’s yellow bus services and on SEPTA’s subway, trolley and bus routes. If families or guardians anticipate delays or have questions or concerns, they should reach out to their child’s principal or school.

FOX 29's Sue Serio says a messy mix of sleet, freezing rain and rain could also make for dangerous road conditions as the storm comes to an end.

South Jersey and Delaware could get one to two inches of snow, while Philadelphia could receive two inches as it moves up to four inches in the Lehigh Valley area.
