Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceEmerson Middle School is a middle school in Niles, Illinois, part of Park Ridge CCSD 64 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 Emerson Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Park Ridge CCSD 64 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Park Ridge CCSD 64 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.
Illinois averages about 38 inches of snow per year. Chicago Public Schools rarely close, but suburban and downstate districts close more frequently for lake-effect and prairie blizzard events.
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 Park Ridge CCSD 64 Schools before acting on it.
