Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceRaven School is a school in Fairbanks, Alaska, part of Yukon-Koyukuk School District. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Raven School are almost always made at the district level. If Yukon-Koyukuk School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Yukon-Koyukuk School District forecast).
Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.
Alaska averages about 75 inches of snow per year. Alaskan schools rarely close for snow alone — extreme wind chill and ice storms are the primary triggers.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Yukon-Koyukuk School District before acting on it.
