Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceE.L. Haynes PCS - HS is a high school in Washington, District of Columbia, part of E.L. Haynes PCS 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 E.L. Haynes PCS - HS are almost always made at the district level. If E.L. Haynes PCS Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the E.L. Haynes PCS Schools forecast).
Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.
High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.
District of Columbia averages about 15 inches of snow per year. DC-area schools close at lower thresholds than northern cities — even 2-3 inches can trigger closures due to limited plow infrastructure.
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 E.L. Haynes PCS Schools before acting on it.
