Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceNorth Smithfield Elementary is a elementary school in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, part of North Smithfield 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 North Smithfield Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If North Smithfield Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the North Smithfield 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.
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.
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 North Smithfield Schools before acting on it.
