Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceS.P. Morton Elementary is a elementary school in Franklin, Virginia, part of Franklin City Public 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 S.P. Morton Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Franklin City Public Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Franklin City Public Schools forecast).
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
Virginia averages about 15 inches of snow per year. Virginia districts vary widely — NoVA follows DC patterns while mountain districts like those near Charlottesville handle more snow before closing.
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 Franklin City Public Schools before acting on it.
