Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceRim Rock Elementary School is a elementary school in Fruita, Colorado, part of Mesa County Valley School District No. 51. 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 Rim Rock Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 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.
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 Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 before acting on it.
