Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWest Tisbury Elementary is a elementary school in West Tisbury, Massachusetts, part of Up-Island Regional 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 West Tisbury Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Up-Island Regional Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Up-Island Regional Schools forecast).
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.
Massachusetts averages about 48 inches of snow per year. Massachusetts districts decide independently but often follow regional patterns during major nor'easters. Boston has closed less than 10 times in recent years.
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 Up-Island Regional Schools before acting on it.
