Snow day forecast for Ocean Rch

Ocean Rch is a school in Forked River, New Jersey, part of Office Of Education Juvenile Justice Commission. 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 Ocean Rch are almost always made at the district level. If Office Of Education Juvenile Justice Commission closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Office Of Education Juvenile Justice Commission forecast).

Suburban area — what that means for closures

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.

New Jersey averages about 25 inches of snow per year. New Jersey districts are notorious for preemptive closures. Northern NJ closes more frequently than southern counties.

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 Office Of Education Juvenile Justice Commission before acting on it.
