Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceBurns Jr & Sr High School is a high school in Burns, Wyoming, part of Laramie County School District #2. 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 Burns Jr & Sr High School are almost always made at the district level. If Laramie County School District #2 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Laramie County School District #2 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.
High schools start earliest, so they feel a storm before the rest of the district does — the first buses often roll while roads are still being treated. That earlier start time is one reason a district watching a morning storm may call the day off entirely rather than run a delay.
Wyoming averages about 60 inches of snow per year. Wyoming schools close primarily for ground blizzards and extreme wind — high winds across open terrain create whiteout conditions even with modest snowfall.
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 Laramie County School District #2 before acting on it.
