Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceRye Elementary School is a elementary school in Rye, Colorado, part of Pueblo County School District 70. 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 Rye Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Pueblo County School District 70 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Pueblo County School District 70 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.
