Welcome to CityView Today! Stay weather aware today. A cold front expected to sweep through the region this afternoon brings with it a moderate risk of severe weather, which could include thunderstorms, high winds, hail, and tornadoes. The National Weather Service has the latest forecast.
The threat of severe weather prompted Cumberland County Schools to close schools for students and employees on Monday. That includes all after-school activities. “Out of an abundance of caution, the district made this decision to help ensure the safety of students, employees and families,” the district said in a statement Sunday.
