Snow day forecast for The University of Montana-Western

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

Town area — what that means for closures

Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.

Montana averages about 57 inches of snow per year. Montana school districts are spread across vast distances. Western mountain communities close more for heavy snowfall while eastern plains districts close for blizzard conditions and extreme cold.

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 The University of Montana-Western before acting on it.
