As the threat for severe weather increases in our area for this afternoon, school officials are making arrangements to send students home early. Caddo Parish officials told KEEL News all Caddo Parish elementary schools will be let out at noon today, Middle School children will be released at 12:30, and high-schools will be let out at 1P.

Caddo schools will be bringing students home via their regular bus routes, or parents can make arrangements to pick their children up at the school.

The National Weather Service says there is an enhanced risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Damaging winds, large hail, flash flooding and tornadoes will all be possible.

All Caddo Parish after school activities, including athletic events are also canceled for Tuesday.
