Snow day forecast for Union Valley Elem

Union Valley Elem is a elementary school in Hutchinson, Kansas, part of Buhler 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 Union Valley Elem are almost always made at the district level. If Buhler Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Buhler Schools forecast).

Town area — what that means for closures

Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.

Kansas averages about 18 inches of snow per year. Kansas schools close more for ice storms and blizzard-condition winds than for snow totals alone.

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 Buhler Schools before acting on it.
