Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceDiggs-Latham Elementary is a elementary school in Winston Salem, North Carolina, part of Winston Salem / Forsyth County 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 Diggs-Latham Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools forecast).
Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.
North Carolina averages about 5 inches of snow per year. North Carolina schools close at very low snow thresholds — even 1-2 inches can shut down most districts due to limited winter equipment.
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 Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools before acting on it.
