Weller Elementary is a elementary school in Fairbanks, Alaska, part of Fairbanks North Star Borough 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 Weller Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Fairbanks North Star Borough School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
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.
