The aftermath of severe storms\u00a0that passed through the\u00a0San Antonio region overnight has forced at least one area school district to cancel classes on Friday, August 28.<\/p>\n

Somerset Independent School District announced via social media<\/a> at around 5 a.m. that it will not hold any classes on Friday. The district cited power outages that happened as a result of the inclement weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“All district events and activities scheduled for this morning are canceled,” the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Coaches and staff will issue additional information to the community regarding afternoon activities, according to the post. The district urged families and students to stay safe and monitor official Somerset ISD communication channels for further updates.<\/p>\n

South-Central Texas is at risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms again throughout Friday. There is about a 30% chance after 4 p.m.,\u00a0according to the San Antonio \/ Austin office of the National Weather Service<\/a>. Any stronger systems that form will be capable of producing strong winds and locally heavy downpours, the agency says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a breaking story and will be updated with new information on other potential district closures should they occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The aftermath of severe storms\u00a0that passed through the\u00a0San Antonio region overnight has forced at least one area school…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[847,820,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-419269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysanews","tag-mysastaff","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
