Closure decisions for Five Hawks Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Prior Lake-Savage Area 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.
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 Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools before acting on it.
