Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceBurlington-Edison Alternative School is a school in Burlington, Washington, part of Burlington-Edison School District. 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 Burlington-Edison Alternative School are almost always made at the district level. If Burlington-Edison School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Burlington-Edison School District forecast).
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.
Washington averages about 7 inches of snow per year. Seattle and Puget Sound districts close aggressively — even 1-2 inches causes widespread closures due to steep hills and limited salt reserves.
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 Burlington-Edison School District before acting on it.
