Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceMcKinley Elementary School is a elementary school in Beaverton, Oregon, part of Beaverton SD 48J 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 McKinley Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Beaverton SD 48J Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Beaverton SD 48J 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.
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 Beaverton SD 48J Schools before acting on it.
