Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceWellington-Napoleon High is a high school in Wellington, Missouri, part of Wellington-Napoleon R-IX 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 Wellington-Napoleon High are almost always made at the district level. If Wellington-Napoleon R-IX Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Wellington-Napoleon R-IX 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.
High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.
Missouri averages about 20 inches of snow per year. St. Louis and Kansas City areas close at different thresholds. Ice storms along the I-44 corridor are a frequent closure trigger.
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 Wellington-Napoleon R-IX Schools before acting on it.
