Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceHighlands Middle School is a middle school in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, part of Fort Thomas Independent 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 Highlands Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Fort Thomas Independent Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Fort Thomas Independent 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.
Kentucky averages about 15 inches of snow per year. Kentucky's hilly terrain and limited salt/plow resources mean schools close at relatively low snow totals compared to northern states.
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 Fort Thomas Independent Schools before acting on it.
