Power outages have forced two HRM schools to close for the day on Tuesday.

The Halifax Regional Centre for Education says Atlantic View Elementary in Lawrencetown and Marine Drive Elementary in Sheet Harbour don't have power and will be closed Tuesday.

The school board says more schools could be added to the list of closures as stormy weather was forecasted to continue.
