Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceResearch Triangle Charter is a school in Durham, North Carolina, part of Research Triangle Charter. 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 Research Triangle Charter are almost always made at the district level. If Research Triangle Charter closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Research Triangle Charter 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 Research Triangle Charter before acting on it.
