All Hamilton County Schools will open on a two-hour delay today because of the risk of severe weather.

Child care will open on its regular schedule.

The National Weather Service had predicted showers and thunderstorms for the Tennessee Valley overnight. With the ground already saturated from previous rainfall, the forecast called for possible flooding in low-lying areas, small streams and urban areas.

A cold front was expected to move into the area today with strong wind gusts and the possibility of isolated tornadoes.
