Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWestgate Community School is a school in Thornton, Colorado, part of Adams 12 Five Star Schools. 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 Westgate Community School are almost always made at the district level. If Adams 12 Five Star Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Adams 12 Five Star Schools 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 Adams 12 Five Star Schools before acting on it.
