Snow day forecast for Portland East Middle School

Portland East Middle School is a middle school in Portland, Tennessee, part of Sumner County 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 Portland East Middle School are almost always made at the district level. If Sumner County Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Sumner County Schools forecast).

Town area — what that means for closures

Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.

Tennessee averages about 5 inches of snow per year. Tennessee schools close at very low thresholds. Nashville closes for 1-2 inches, while mountain districts in eastern TN handle slightly more.

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 Sumner County Schools before acting on it.
