Conditions for Monday morning are predicted to be similar to Thursday, when Collinsville Unit 10 cancelled school out of concern for children’s safety. Winds of 25-35 mph, a wind chill factor of -11 and a temperature of 9 will greet children at the bus stop Monday morning. After school conditions are projected to be the similar, with a slightly diminished wind. An afternoon high of 11 degrees and winds of 17-25 mph will combine for a wind chill of -9.
