Snow day forecast for West Campus Elementary School

West Campus Elementary School is a elementary school in Waukon, Iowa, part of Allamakee 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 West Campus Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Allamakee Comm School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Allamakee Comm School District forecast).

Rural area — what that means for closures

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.

How this prediction is calculated

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 Allamakee Comm School District before acting on it.
