Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceDarrington Elementary School is a elementary school in Darrington, Washington, part of Darrington 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 Darrington Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Darrington School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Darrington School District 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.
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 Darrington School District before acting on it.
