Schools closing early today in Central Iowa is incredibly dumb. Storms arrive in the metro around 5:30 pm.

It's also the Friday before spring break. Kind of a gift to everyone.

Do school buses run til 5:30? Most school dismiss by 3.
I don't know what schools you are around but the earliest around here are 2:30-2:45 (starting at 8 or a tad before) and the high school goes until 4PM I believe.

Interesting. Didn’t know any high school that goes til 4.
Here is Linn-Mar's schedule. I believe College Community (Prairie) is similar as they also have both intermediate and middle schools. Largely done due to transportation ease and studies on when each group of students is at their best or whatever.

Storms are not very impressive on radar so far.
