Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceHighlands SHS is a school in Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, part of Highlands SD 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 Highlands SHS are almost always made at the district level. If Highlands SD Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Highlands SD Schools forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
Pennsylvania averages about 35 inches of snow per year. Erie and northeastern PA see heavy lake-effect snow, while Philadelphia-area districts close more preemptively. Pittsburgh splits the difference.
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 Highlands SD Schools before acting on it.
