Schools will resume as normal on Friday.
However, the nation will be informed otherwise if there is need to do so.
This is the update coming from Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, Faris Al Rawi, as he addressed a news briefing on Thursday.
The Ministry of Education advised earlier in the day, the closure of all schools.
The decision was taken after the Met Office upgraded the Adverse Weather Alert from Yellow to Orange.
Minister Al Rawis gave some details as to the factors which are considered before a decision on such a matter is reached by the Ministry of Education.
