DETROIT (FOX 2) - While many Metro Detroit schools are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, others are already announcing that they won't reopen Tuesday due to subzero temperatures.
A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for Monroe County, Livingston County, Lapeer County, St. Clair County, Wayne County, Macomb County, Washtenaw County, and Oakland County until noon Wednesday.
Monday's high will struggle to reach 10 degrees, with wind chills remaining below zero all day. Heading into Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be even colder. Wind chills are forecasted to be between -15 and -15. Some areas could see this number dip as low as -25.
Though there is no hard and fast rule for canceling school, it's likely schools will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
