Snow day forecast for Jefferson Middle School

Jefferson Middle School is a middle school in Champaign, Illinois, part of Champaign CUSD 4 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 Jefferson Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Champaign CUSD 4 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Champaign CUSD 4 Schools forecast).

Urban area — what that means for closures

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.

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.

How this prediction is calculated

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 Champaign CUSD 4 Schools before acting on it.
