PORTLAND, Ore. — With another round of winter weather set to arrive on Tuesday, school districts across Oregon and Washington have announced that classes are canceled. Many school districts were closed on Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, but freezing rain in the forecast is expected to create icy road conditions on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an Ice Storm Warning for much of northwestern Oregon and southwest Washington. Icing is expected to start late Tuesday morning and may last into Wednesday morning. Some areas may see up to half an inch of accumulated ice.

Portland Public Schools (PPS), Oregon's largest school district, announced late Monday afternoon that it would close schools Tuesday after its leaders held a meeting to "review circumstances and consider options."

Below is a look at what school districts are planning for Tuesday, Jan. 16, organized by county (as of Tuesday afternoon).
