<span style="">I try not to email over the weekend, but I just want to be sure you are all keeping an eye on this. It is still too soon to be sure, but the cone of Tropical Depression 10 (projected Hurricane Idalia) has tightened and remains focused on the
Panhandle. If that forecast holds it will likely mean campus closures, so be prepared to lose a day of class next week. </span></div>
