Snow day forecast for Mesa Elementary

Mesa Elementary is a elementary school in Shiprock, New Mexico, part of Central 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 Mesa Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Central Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Central 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.

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 Central Schools before acting on it.
