Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceFossil Charter School is a school in Fossil, Oregon, part of Fossil SD 21J 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 Fossil Charter School are almost always made at the district level. If Fossil SD 21J Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Fossil SD 21J Schools forecast).
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.
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.
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 Fossil SD 21J Schools before acting on it.
