Students at Ohio University's Athens campus will have a three-day weekend.

Officials announced Friday that, in anticipation of severe weather and potential flooding, classes would be canceled Monday. The university will remain open, however, and the university alert said classes are expected to resume Tuesday.

"Based on current forecasts, specific areas on campus may be impacted by flooding Sunday evening into Monday morning," the university alert stated. "In addition to closed roadways and flooding on campus, there is a potential for high winds, which increases the possibility of widespread outages across campus, impacting power in residence halls, dining facilities and academic buildings."
