Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWest Ridge Elementary School is a elementary school in Post Falls, Idaho, part of Post Falls District. 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 West Ridge Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Post Falls District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Post Falls District 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.
Idaho averages about 44 inches of snow per year. Mountain communities and valley districts have very different closure thresholds. Boise closes less often than northern Idaho.
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 Post Falls District before acting on it.
