Snow day forecast for Yellowstone Virtual Academy

Yellowstone Virtual Academy is a school in Fairview, Montana, part of Yellowstone 14 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 Yellowstone Virtual Academy are almost always made at the district level. If Yellowstone 14 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Yellowstone 14 Schools forecast).

Rural area — what that means for closures

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.

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 Yellowstone 14 Schools before acting on it.
