Storm Bram developing in the Atlantic to combine with high tides.
Following the escalation of the Storm Bram warning this morning, the Education Authority has discussed the situation with the Department.
At this stage, it is not planned to issue general school closure notices.
Instead, school leaders are asked to monitor and assess the weather warnings in their areas and, if necessary, take local decisions.
The upgraded amber warning affects parts of Antrim, Fermanagh, Derry and Tyrone and will come into effect from 2pm to 7pm today.
Schools situated in or close to the amber warning zone should be mindful of the risks of high winds, power outages, damage to buildings, and significant disruption to transport services.
Further information is available from the Met Office website
The situation will be kept under review centrally.
