Austin ISD officials Friday canceled athletic events and after-school programs and activities after 6 p.m. Friday, out of concern that weather conditions could deteriorate and travel could be icy in and around Austin.

So far, only one area school district is releasing students early on Friday.

All Lake Travis ISD elementary schools will be released at 11:45 a.m.   Students at Lake Travis High School and Hudson Bend Middle School will be released at 12:45 p.m.  Lake Travis Middle School will end the school day at 12:55 p.m.

Weather permitting, Lake Travis High School's football playoff game in San Marcos, will be held as scheduled.

Stay tuned to KVUE for any updates -- school closings will be listed on a crawl at the bottom of your screen.

Because no significant snow accumulation is expected on area roadways, the City of Austin Thursday said it is not recommending facility closures and it does not anticipate road closures.  Crews are on standby just in case.

For information on how to prepare for a disaster, the City of Austin has created a list.
