Snow day forecast for Richmond Elementary

Richmond Elementary is a elementary school in Sussex, Wisconsin, part of Richmond 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 Richmond Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Richmond School District closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Richmond School District forecast).

Suburban area — what that means for closures

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.

Wisconsin averages about 50 inches of snow per year. Wisconsin schools close for blizzard conditions and extreme cold. Most districts can handle routine snowfall up to 6-8 inches without closing.

How this prediction is calculated

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 Richmond School District before acting on it.
