Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceOrtega Middle School is a middle school in Alamosa, Colorado, part of Alamosa School District No. Re-11J. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.

Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
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 Alamosa School District No. Re-11J before acting on it.
