Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceLakewood Elementary School is a elementary school in Saint Albans, West Virginia, part of Kanawha 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 Lakewood Elementary School are almost always made at the district level. If Kanawha County Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Kanawha County Schools 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.
West Virginia averages about 30 inches of snow per year. West Virginia's mountainous terrain and winding bus routes mean schools close at lower thresholds than neighboring flatland states.
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 Kanawha County Schools before acting on it.
