Snow day forecast for University of Southern Maine

University of Southern Maine is a college or university in Portland, Maine. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.

Urban area — what that means for closures

Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.

Maine averages about 72 inches of snow per year. Maine schools are well-equipped for snow but close for major nor'easters and dangerous wind chills below -30°F.

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 University of Southern Maine before acting on it.
