Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceStorm Lake Elementary is a elementary school in Storm Lake, Iowa, part of Storm Lake 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 Storm Lake Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Storm Lake Comm School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Storm Lake Comm School District forecast).
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
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 Storm Lake Comm School District before acting on it.
