Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceDolores Middle School is a middle school in Dolores, Colorado, part of Dolores School District No. Re-4A. 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 Dolores Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Dolores School District No. Re-4A closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Dolores School District No. Re-4A forecast).
Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.
Colorado averages about 57 inches of snow per year. Front Range districts close most often during spring upslope storms that can dump 1-2 feet overnight.
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 Dolores School District No. Re-4A before acting on it.
