Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceKimball Elementary School is a elementary school in Seattle, Washington, part of Seattle School District No. 1. 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 Kimball Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Seattle School District No. 1 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Seattle School District No. 1 forecast).
Urban districts usually have the best-treated roads and the shortest bus routes, so they tend to hold out longer before closing — but they also weigh sidewalk conditions and transit reliability for students who walk or ride public transport.
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 Seattle School District No. 1 before acting on it.
