Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServicePaw Paw Junior High School is a middle school in Paw Paw, Illinois, part of Paw Paw CUSD 271 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 Paw Paw Junior High School are almost always made at the district level. If Paw Paw CUSD 271 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Paw Paw CUSD 271 Schools forecast).
Rural districts run the longest bus routes over the least-treated roads, so they typically close at lower snowfall totals than nearby urban districts — often on forecasts that would leave a city district open.
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 Paw Paw CUSD 271 Schools before acting on it.
