Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWetzel County Schools serves New Martinsville and the surrounding area in West Virginia, covering 11 schools. When winter weather threatens, the closure decision is made district-wide — which is why the forecast above is centred on the district itself rather than any single campus.
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
West Virginia averages about 30 inches of snow per year. West Virginia's mountainous terrain and winding bus routes mean schools close at lower thresholds than neighboring flatland states.
We pull the live forecast for the district's own coordinates and score the factors that drive a closure call: snowfall accumulation and its timing relative to the morning bus run, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and forecast confidence. The result is a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
Districts announce closures between roughly 5 AM and 6 AM, working from conditions on the ground rather than the previous evening's forecast. Weather models are most reliable inside 24 hours, so checking after 6 PM the night before gives you the most accurate read.
This is an independent prediction, not an announcement. Always confirm a closure with Wetzel County Schools directly before acting on it.
