Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceNorth Cook Young Adult Academy is a school in Des Plaines, Illinois, part of Region 05 North Cook ISC 1 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 North Cook Young Adult Academy are almost always made at the district level. If Region 05 North Cook ISC 1 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Region 05 North Cook ISC 1 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.
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 Region 05 North Cook ISC 1 Schools before acting on it.
