Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWest 40-Sr. Plus is a school in Maywood, Illinois, part of Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 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 West 40-Sr. Plus are almost always made at the district level. If Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 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 Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 Schools before acting on it.
