Snow day forecast for John F. Deering Middle

John F. Deering Middle is a middle school in West Warwick, Rhode Island, part of West Warwick 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 John F. Deering Middle are almost always made at the district level. If West Warwick Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the West Warwick Schools forecast).

Suburban area — what that means for closures

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.

Rhode Island averages about 35 inches of snow per year. Rhode Island's small size means most districts follow a statewide pattern during major storms. Coastal flooding can also trigger 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 West Warwick Schools before acting on it.
