Snow day forecast for Rutledge Primary

Rutledge Primary is a elementary school in Rutledge, Tennessee, part of Grainger 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 Rutledge Primary are almost always made at the district level. If Grainger County Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Grainger County Schools forecast).

Rural area — what that means for closures

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.

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 Grainger County Schools before acting on it.
