Snow day forecast for Alice Ott Middle School

Alice Ott Middle School is a middle school in Portland, Oregon, part of David Douglas SD 40 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 Alice Ott Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If David Douglas SD 40 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the David Douglas SD 40 Schools forecast).

Urban area — what that means for closures

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.

Oregon averages about 5 inches of snow per year. Portland and the Willamette Valley close at very low thresholds — any snow or ice accumulation on roads typically triggers closures.

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 David Douglas SD 40 Schools before acting on it.
