Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWalter F Fierke Ed Center is a school in Oak Forest, Illinois, part of CCSD 146 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 Walter F Fierke Ed Center are almost always made at the district level. If CCSD 146 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the CCSD 146 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 CCSD 146 Schools before acting on it.
