Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceCrestwood Middle School is a middle school in Cresco, Iowa, part of Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District. 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 Crestwood Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District 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.
Iowa averages about 35 inches of snow per year. Iowa schools watch wind chill closely — many districts close when wind chill drops below -25°F regardless of snowfall.
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 Howard-Winneshiek Comm School District before acting on it.
