How to Stay Updated with THV11

THV11 provides several platforms to check for the latest “inclement weather” announcements. If a storm is forecasted, these are the best ways to get information:

Online Closings List: Visit the THV11 Closings and Delays page. This list is alphabetized and covers public schools, private academies, and local colleges.
THV11 Mobile App: Download the “Arkansas News from THV11” app on iOS or Android. Ensure Push Notifications are enabled to receive alerts the second a closure is announced.
On-Air Morning News: Starting at 4:30 AM, watch the THV11 Morning News. A scrolling “ticker” at the bottom of the screen displays all active closings and delays.
Social Media: Follow THV11 on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) for breaking weather news.

What the Labels Mean

Districts typically choose one of three options based on road conditions and safety:

Status	Details
Closed	No in-person classes. Check if your district uses “AMI” (Alternative Methods of Instruction) days for remote learning.
2-Hour Delay	School starts two hours late. Bus pickup times are also pushed back by exactly two hours.
Snow Routes	Buses will only travel on primary, well-treated roads. Students on side streets may need to meet the bus at a designated main-road stop.

The Decision-Making Process

Superintendents in Arkansas typically aim to make a decision by 6:00 AM to accommodate families who leave home early.² They coordinate with the THV11 weather team, local law enforcement, and transportation directors who physically drive the roads in the pre-dawn hours to check for ice or flooding.

Pro-Tip: If you see a “Delayed Start” announced, many districts will decide by 8:00 AM whether that delay needs to turn into a full closure. Keep your notifications on!
