RAIN/COLD WEATHER
1) If there is a constant rain, the pool may be closed at management discretion
2) If the high for the day is lower than 70, the pool may be closed at management discretion

TORNADO WATCH/WARNING  
1) Watch: the staff will keep and eye on the weather, if if looks like there is a storm approaching, or there is a high chance of severe storms, the pool will be closed immediately. 
2) Warning: there has been a tornado spotted in the area, the pool will be closed, seek shelter immediately. 

Daily Staffing is split into two shifts, so it is possible the pool could be closed for a half day if the weather changes.  Residents who are registered on this website will receive an email notification for closures though not lightning or thunder delays.  Contact a pool deck manager with any questions.
