Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceEllis Middle is a middle school in Austin, Minnesota, part of Austin Public 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 Ellis Middle are almost always made at the district level. If Austin Public School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Austin Public School District forecast).
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
Minnesota averages about 54 inches of snow per year. Minnesota schools are built for winter but close for blizzard warnings and extreme wind chill events below -35°F.
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 Austin Public School District before acting on it.
