Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceHillcrest Elementary is a elementary school in Gillette, Wyoming, part of Campbell County School District #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 Hillcrest Elementary are almost always made at the district level. If Campbell County School District #1 closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Campbell County School District #1 forecast).
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
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 Campbell County School District #1 before acting on it.
