The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for our region that is in effect from 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday.
The advisory is predicting a possible mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow that may cause slippery road condition. While University administration is taking this advisory under consideration, it is still too early to predict if our area will be affected.
At this time, MVSU will be observing normal business and class hours on Friday, January 12. Please check the weather and travel conditions along your route and in Itta Bena before traveling and make the proper adjustments, if necessary.
The University’s Emergency Response Team is in contact with local Emergency Management Administrators (EMA) and the National Weather Service and will be closely monitoring the weather event and situation. If there are any changes to the University schedule, notifications will be posted at www.mvsu.edu. Students, faculty and staff will also be notified by university e-mail, text messaging, Facebook (@valley.state), and Twitter (@MVSUDevils).
You can also check road and weather conditions at www.weather.gov.meg before traveling to and from this area.
