A Wednesday meeting will determine the plan for the rest of the week.

The University of Florida (UF) says its main campus in Gainesville will remain open Wednesday ahead of the approaching storm.

UF notified students and faculty late Tuesday that administrators were expected to meet on Wednesday to decide whether to close the university for Thursday or Friday. It expected a decision on that by noon.

College football will not be affected in Gainesville, either way. The Gators were in a bye week and won’t play again until their home game Oct. 5 against the University of Central Florida.
